My favorite marine weather information:   I like to know what is happening around East Point at the south tip of Saturna Island.
It is one of the most exposed locations, so it can't get any worse where I usually travel.

This is the best web site I have found for tide and current information. 
I like the maximum current time and speed information.

A unique experience is to enjoy the live music nightly at the "Tree House" outdoor restaurant. The talent is pretty good, especially Saturday nights.
