If money is not object use www.ROFFscom (http://www.ROFFscom) buy each analysis separately for around 60 a day or packages that start at $700 or so a year, otherwise I would use hiltons www.hiltonsoffshore.com (http://www.hiltonsoffshore.com) for around 230 a year, or try www.ripcharts.com (http://www.ripcharts.com) for 89$ a year. I have used both and like hiltons better, just my .02cents.
I should also mention for free www.louisiana-offshore.com (http://www.louisiana-offshore.com) and go to the bluewater supermap for gulf conditions and reefcast for their weather as it is extremely accuracte and detailed forecast

Louisiana-Offshore.com has true color imagery also. Supermap has so many features it is possible you just have not found it yet. But I beg to differ anyway. The true color shots are fine if the break is hard but when it’s not everything blends together. With a chlorophyll count you can actually tell if a rip is true blue or just blue green. There is no guess work there. Rip Charts does offer a great product though, different strokes for different folks.

Hi Fishinfrenzy, I am one of the co-owners of RipCharts. I would love an opportunity at your business, send me a message and I will hook you up with a trial to kick the tires. And yes, we do True Color imagery quite well. :grin: Here is a recent True Color off Venice.
