Peter, living so close to the water can make the seeing extra variable. No forecast that I’ve found leads to predictions any better than flipping a coin.
The one important thing to do is to get out there and take a look regularly. The more you look, the more experience you will get in recognising good seeing from bad. There’s really no simple shortcut. Start with an eyepiece over a few nights and see how you go, but also bear in mind the seeing can vary over the course of an evening.
Also watch out for any local thermals, such as a neighbour’s air conditioning unit spewing out hot air.
FWIW, I’ve had some luck in the past with my C11 + Powermate, but the nights it really makes a difference are few and far between.
