Links: Currents and Winds

While looking at the yellowbrick track for the Newport Bermuda race going on now I found this really beautiful display of currents and wind worldwide.

And here are currents:

It seems more useful for larger currents than taking advantage of local eddies here on the San Diego coastline. For that I've tried paying attention to HF radar information but have felt that sometimes the information doesn't exactly match what I find on the water. That being said my guess is that this is being improved all the time.
