Definitely the National Data Buoy Site. Most locals will use the 20 mile Forecast from Currituck Light to Oregon Inlet or the Oregon Inlet to Hatteras reports. There is also a 100 Mile forecast, but that has a tendency to be deceiving since you are concerned getting Offshore. If you can't get there or get beat up on the way why? Next you have the actual Buoy reports. You have the Oregon Inlet Buoy whish is 7 or 8 Miles out. The Virginia Beach Weather Buoy is also pretty good and the Diamond Shoals location. There are some sites which will forecast Winds by time of day and by distance from shore. I have never used them. Please be advised these reports along with Satellite Water Temps are no good for Beach Zone use.
