What is the best and most accurate web site to join for weather and rips to see where blue water is in the gulf of mexico? Any in put would be appreciated thanks.

If money is not object use www.ROFFscom buy each analysis separately for around 60 a day or packages that start at $700 or so a year, otherwise I would use hiltons www.hiltonsoffshore.com for around 230 a year, or try www.ripcharts.com for 89$ a year. I have used both and like hiltons better, just my .02cents.

I should also mention for free www.louisiana-offshore.com and go to the bluewater supermap for gulf conditions and reefcast for their weather as it is extremely accuracte and detailed forecast

Best product I have used for finding rips is true color. only website that has it is rip chart. http://www.ripcharts.com/map.aspx?id=68675

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.

Here is a recent True Color off Venice.
