Take a look at the scuba weather tutorial on MBDC's web site:

I use this site a lot, then go down anyways to find great conditions and everyone scared away by the forecast...
Actually, it is a very good site, worthwile for all divers to read. Swell direction is an important factor in the conditions at specific sites. At 10 ft and above though, it gets iffy everywhere near the coast.
