Weather Forecasts in French Polynesia
Birgit Hackl and Christian Feldbauer on SY Pitufa have compiled this page which summarizes the weather forecasts they used on Pitufa in addition to grib files when cruising through some of the more remote parts of French Polynesia.  It includes weather bulletins, surface-analysis charts, cyclone warnings, El-Niño discussions, and of course all Saildocs codes. It also embeds all those current forecasts, so it's a convenient all-in-one weather site for cruisers in French Polynesia.
