Try this link for weather
I go from Christchurch, so the spot I fished is some distance from Poole ( I assume you are launching from there ). But it is dire, I warn you !
Phil,
I've just had a look at the wreck chart link and it
No brainer easy to use 3 day forcast, and suprisingly accurate too

Click on the B'mth or Poole heading for a 5 day forcast

Phil,
Having fished the majority of the wrecks within close distance of club waters, I can tell you that they generally dont produce the hoards of fish you may think.
Firstly, if you have never (or do not have much experinace) fished a wreck in your own vessel before it can be hard work, difficult, frustrating, expensive and sometimes dangerous....dont want to put you off though! 
The 'Inshore' wrecks (up to 20 miles out) only really have a few bream, wrasse and pollock on them in the summer, and pout and conger in the winter. Their are loads to choose from, but to be honest those of us who fishe them regulary tend to this time of year when nothing else is around - eels are then almost guarentted - a bend in the rod.
The reef and bank marks fish much more productivly, so dont get hung up by wrecks - join in and youll soon pick up marks and areas where the different species come from.
As others have said - the fishing at the moment is about as poor as it gets. If you launch from Christchurch, the end of Hengistbury head will yeild a few wrasse to ragworm fished on the drift. Other than this, off the back of Christchurch ledge in between the Dolphin bank and the ledge may find the odd late whiting, pout and doggies.

Phil,
Your thread was about inshore wrecks so I looked at some a few miles out, but most of these are quite small. Therefore unless you have a really good GPS position for them it
having looked on the pandora site last year i would agree with gordon that a lot of the numbers are inaccurate even the weymouth dive site numbers vary in accuracy
ps adam you havent even started yet !!!!!!!!!!
Didnt mean club waters - although thats what I typed - mean wrecks close to where I fish often, I.e off Christchurch etc.... 
....youre right - Im sure I could try and fish all of them and still be doing it this time next year...

Hi Phil
You are welcome out on Quest II
IMHO Neap tides are the only sensible option for deep water anchoring (on a wreck or rough ground). On a neap you can still fish sensibly light with no more than 2lb of lead. Anything else and it is a killer just getting your tackle back to the surface.
In addition we drift a lot of wrecks for Pollock, Cod, Ling, Bass etc depending on time of year.
Drifting has it's own set of challenges and both techniques require a little bit of mastering and I am the first to admit that you learn a bit more everytime you go out.
If you join a crew on Quest II each crew man pays an equal share to the cost of fuel and bait. Tea and coffee are usually made onboard (so long as we remember the milk).
I am hoping to get back out in the next couple of weeks and, depending on tide, we can either target a few snakes (fairly quiet compared with Autumn, but there will be a few down there) or head way into the distance for some Pollock to see if they have finally materialised in any numbers yet.
Tackle:
Conger, Typically a 30lb class or 20lb if you are brave (or foolish like me), balanced to the right reel loaded with braid.
A selection of leads from 10oz to 2lb, weight carriers, heavy (200lbish) mono trace line and chubba hubba 8/0 hooks (I use Cox & Rawle Meat Hooks).
A stack of mackeral for bait.
Pollock, 12lb / 20lb rod (again use a 6lb class if you are a donkey like me), balanced reel and 12lb / 16lb braid.
Selection of leads up to 10oz, long booms (either sliding or wire), amnesia or fluro carbon trace line of around 20lbish and 6/0 or 4/0 wire hooks depending on which lure or bait.
Bait will either be a selection of Jelly worms, Shads, Storm Lures etc or Live Sandeels, Joey Mackerel etc if we can get them at the appropriate time of year.

Hi Phil
No problem with space for two.
Quest II will fish three in luxury, four OK and five at a real squeeze.
I have to say I am not completely sure when I will be out next it is a combination of weather, work and tieing up with time off etc.
It was pants last time I went, but the mid channel fish shuold be well and truly in by now. This is another part of wrecking, it can be a long day for hardly anything or day that flys by with loads of good fish.
You just never know what is going to happen! 
I shall let you know when I have a better idea of time off.
Tom
thanks tom
will look foward to hearing from you
