657.0. "MARINE WEATHER FORECAST" by TOOK::SWEET (Capt. Codfish...Jeffries Ledge or Bust) Thu Mar 31 1988 16:15

    There is a Marine Weather report that is updated about every 6 hours
    that you can call for the Marine forcast around Mass. Bay. The
    number is 617-569-3700, It is maintained by the dept. of commerce.
    It gives the wind, sea's, visability for about the next 36-48hrs
    for Boston Harbor, Watchhill to Merrimac River within 25 miles of
    the coast, Georges Bank and sometimes Hudson Canyon.
    
    I use it to help plan the days I want to go out and then back it
    up with the VHF forcast on that morning for any changes.

657.2Good most of the timeTOOK::SWEETCapt. Codfish...Jeffries Ledge or BustMon Apr 04 1988 08:417
    The were right on for friday when joe and I went out. Winds NE 10-15
    sea's 2ft or less!! In general they are pretty good but always trust
    what you see and what your experience tells you. For instance I
    had a day a that all weather I heard was sw 5-15 sea's 1-3 and it
    turned out sw 15-30 sea's 5-10ft (that was white knuckle ride home).
