1) Ikite updates take so long, it can be 5pm you are ready to leave work and go ride and the last reading is from 2:34pm

2) Right now it is 10:37pm the last reading from today is at 2:06, wtf

3) This happens all the time and I find the site pretty much worthless

4) What sites does everyone look at for their reports/forecasts?

Thanks,

Danny

Yep, it's pretty close to worthless. Been saying that for years.

Anyway, http://co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/ports_screens/tbscreen.shtml
and a few beach cams (http://www.baynews9.com/Sky9.html) are what I use for real time stuff in the SPB area.

Yea. It totally depends where you live if ikite is worth it. We have a sensor 1/2 a mile from our spot that updates every 15 minutes. With the iphone app it is really convenient.

Well, it's free, so. I definitely wouldn't pay for it.
