I agree dorian, I have been using Weatherzone for a few years now and find it reasonably accurate. You can pay a subscription and get all sorts of info but I don't bother, yet anyway.

They have a freebie app if you have a smart phone or ipad.

I've bookmarked it ... thanks Dorian
This is the one that I often use, mainly because of the wind (& wave) forecast. Good for kayaking.
This is a coastal wind forecast site that I use very often. It was set up originally for windsurfers but as a fisherman I find it extremely useful and very accurate

I use Weatherzone and have the app on my Galaxy phone as well. Like Elders and many other weather sites the data is sourced from the BOM. BOM and the weather sites that source their data from BOM have a much higher rate of accuracy than they're given credit for, given the extremely complex nature of the science of meteorology.
This seems like a good site for weather forecasts and half-hourly (?) updates:

Weatherzone is a good site for the weather.
Who said that?
Wombat did after Dazren told him to. I'm sure Bohemian Gypsy was in that mix too.
I've been using this one for years

i use that but i also use willyweather.com as they show me the wind factor and try to use that when traveling you can tell how strong it will get
I have a look at weatherzone for particular towns when we are travelling. This site is great for watching the rain radars...

BTW, there's a joke in there somewhere.
Talking about jokes .... did you pick up the one in the symbol legends in the weather site that I posted ..
Smelly Shorts Wind
35+ knots
I reckon that 35+ knot winds would have that effect on a sailor ... note also the color chosen for the arrow.
