Does anybody know a reliable website that will show me eastern lake erie lake conditions. i have driven out there so many times just to find the conditions bad and just turn around and head home. its only a 20 minute drive but a drive i dont have to make if i know the conditions before i leave my house.

Re: Weather Reports?

sites i use around here are intellicast (because it gives wind speeds for a week) and fishweather.com. If you have the latter up there, it's really good. Intellicast is national.
IMO the wind speed and direction tells you more about the conditions than anything else, so if you don't already, observe the conditions under various directions/speeds.

I generally use a combination of three main websites including
accuweather.com http://www.accuweather.com/us/ny/niagara-falls/14305/outdoor-beach-marine.asp
wunderground http://www.wunderground.com/MAR/LE/020.html
as well as NOAA as stated above

Edit: Try this site
Also the NOAA site that tpcowfish posted has data from the actual monitoring buoys out on the lake.
Here is a sample
