swell direction data for PacNW?

I've looked around on the NOAA site and elsewhere trying to find out where one can find accurate swell direction info and I haven't find anything....

Looked through the NOAA buoy site here:
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/maps/Northwest.shtml
but don't see any swell direction info, or perhaps I don't know what I'm looking for.

Anyways....I spent a whole lotta time driving this weekend staring at a calm strait of juan de fuca and didn't get any quality time in the water until I got to neah bay and I'd really like to find a data source online thats slightly better than the general swell direction that the noaa marine forecast provides and that swell direction arrow on the magicseaweed forcast. Any suggestions on where I can find some accurate swell direction info straight from the buoys?

thanks!

watching the storms that produce swell and their ability to fire down the mouth of the strait is a good indicator
this site puts it all in a pretty picture

comparing the swell angles north and south of the strait also helps,


but in the end the strait is a fickle bitch

hadn't seen that surfwa site before....lots of good info. thanks!

www.nxnwsurf.com also has some decent data. I try and avoid the douchebags at the shop, but the website has decent one-stop-shopping for conditions.

Why drive to the strait when its going off right here?

To get numerical swell direction forecast numbers-- visit Wavewatch, Magic Seaweed, Stormsurf, and others(?). It seems that the accuracy goes up when more of the forecast websites agree on the forecast.

I am guessing that the technology just isn't there yet to give accurate forecasts when there are 2+ storm systems bearing in many directions with an overlying jet stream to smear it all up. But on those rare days when a single system comes screaming towards the throat of the straits-- WAHOO!!
