virtual buoys...
I was wondering if there is anywhere on the net that allows you to access the virtual buoy data for a specific longtitude and latitude in bar graph form. I find the coloured contour plots hard to work out the exact predicted value...

Yes, you will need to subscribe, it's not bad - about $70 for the year from memory. The whole service was originally designed to support ships at sea that could only receive burst transmission via inmarsat - so its probably all just solid text. We had to design an application to turn it into the bar graph but I think the guys that run the site could help you out as well. I have always found them to be very user friendly and very good value for your annual subscription.

Ohh, ok, didn't realise that buoyweather offered that as a service.
What are peoples thoughts on the accuracy of buoyweather? I used to use it alot when I first started surfing, but found that the wind predictions were usually pretty funky and eventually started just using swellnet, and the realtime buoys and weatherzone for current conditions...
