Looking for a website or app that has good current maps for southwest Western Australia.

Thanks

Don't think there is anymore,

Don't think there is anymore, the good web app page by Navionics is no more since Garmin took over.

Any research now means jumping on the boat in the driveway plugging the unit in, that or pay for the app.

 That really pissed me off when they did that. That was a really good page to trip plan on.

Yeah was good, get an idea and somewhere to head too to get started!

All the online apps have gone up in price also, pretty popular even if limited out deep.

 Do you mean current as in up

 Do you mean current as in up to date or current as in ocean current directions?

Coarse scale stuff

 I check ocean currents/surface sea temperature using the IMOS website. You can click on a region then select time frames to see a map  with currents and temperatures.

https://oceancurrent.aodn.org.au/

 

Coarse scale, but sometimes useful.  North of Cape Naturaliste there would also be various current overalys on seabed topography in apps like Bathymaps, at finer scale..

Ripcharts

 I use Ripcharts, very popular with most people I know that fish offshore in WA.  It does require a subscription, but once you have it you can use it on your PC at home or the app on phone/ipad.
