Here's what I use - Cameras are key - I got out yesterday evening for 2 hrs. Forecasts were all way off but I happened to check the cams:

Forecast:
Iwindsurf - Durand

NOAA Graphical
www.weather.gov/forecasts/wfo/sectors/buf.php

Sailflow

Unisys

Meter: David has them covered. The Iwindsurf meter at the Ibay outlet is pretty variable. Charlotte pier is better but the cams are best.

I absolutely agree with Chris that cameras tell you the story that meters can't, especially lake vision. Here are some other locals:

Seneca

Canandaigua

One more, live update of the wind at the pier. Updates every 10 min or so.
