Wondering what you gents are using to gauge fishing-specific conditions, weather, surf conditions, etc on your smart phone?

Only good one I've found so far is Fishing Times Free for Android.

sorry, should've described it a bit.

It's pretty basic -- gives you major/minor optimal fishing times, sun & moon up/down, high/low tide times & overall day rating (good, bad, etc) based on your location. The interface is either text-based or layed out on a Solunar clock.

I have a "dumb" phone, but these are what I look at home on the computer, hopefully "there's an app for that" applies.

Marine forecasts:

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=ptat2 (Click "latest marine forecast, covers most of the CCFishing area inshore, nearshore mostly, but offshore as a reference)

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=42020 (offshore)

http://www.buoyweather.com/index2.jsp (adjustable view; good for locals as you get a pretty accurate 2 day forecast for free)

http://www.tides4fishing.com/us/texas/port-aransas (blatantly stolen from someone who posted it on here, great for tides and solunar if you're into that sort of thing Razz

)

Key thing here (concerning the Gulf) isn't just wave height, but wind wave and swell period. On the 42020 buoy, note steepness. 3 feet at 5 seconds is pretty crap; 3 feet at 10 seconds usually isn't bad. Rule of thumb, count on it being bigger and closer together than the forecast. Gotta love the Coastal Bend Razz

Also:

www.weather.com

www.wunderground.com

www.accuweather.com

I typically add them up and average them out.
