It depends on which locations you want.  A lot of them
give "This site is exclusive to iWindsurf FX members".
 As expected those are the ones that I am most
interested in.  At least that is what I see if not
logged in.

I have found this to be a mixed bag.  Two years ago
they seemed to be very good.  In the recent past their
batting average has been MUCH worse than in the more
distant past.  I am not sure if this is because of
recent weather patterns or if they are just doing a
worse job.  At one point they seemed to do much better
than the NOAA page.  Lately this is not the case. 
They offer a much more granular version of the
forecast, but if it is wrong it doesn't matter :)
