Is there's preferred method to get realtime weather and tide info for big lake?

Here are some resources I use for planning ahead as I am not able to fish the area as often as needed to stay in the know:

Windfinder app (will show wave height predictions),
wunderground app,
NOAA marine forecast website (http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/zone/gulf/lchmz.htm)
Water data USGS website (http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?site_no=08017044)
Tides4fishing solunar data website (http://www.tides4fishing.com/us/louisiana/bulk-terminal)
