It's free, courtesy of the US Navy

You can get a current Gulf Stream Analysis courtesy of the US Navy Meteorological/Oceanographic Center in Norfolk, VA. The web site is http://www.nlmoc.navy.mil/home1.shtml.As a sailor and retired Navy weatherman/oceanographer, I've found this site useful for offshore information.

Navy URL alive and well

The URL for the Navy site containing Gulf Stream location information is as Rich stated - http://www.nlmoc.navy.mil/ minus the home1.shtml. This is a database driven site so any attempt to access the given page would be denied since the page was only created when Rich made the request. You have to browse down through the products for the Atlantic Operational Area to find the information on current Gulf Stream location and speeds.

Here's the definative Navy link

I tracked down a couple of the previous responses and decided that the text version was "cleaner". The full link is "http://www.nlmoc.navy.mil/newpage/oceans/working/gulf02.gif" which gives you the graphic with grids that you can use for distances offshore.Ron Parkess/v Contemplation H320

Re: URL not working - make sure you delete...

the "." after "shtml." and it will work fine!
