Default Tue 12/12 Blowing?

Is it really blowing at SW or is it the sensor fake out?

Yesterday it said the same. We got skunked. It blew maybe 11 or 12 knots as the sunset. Prior to 4:30 it was sub 9 knots. About 6 of us got "drawn in" by the sensor.

Probably a fake out, maybe not though.
I am 3 minutes away and its not worth it to me to check.
Nothing is moving at the house here. It'd be cool to have a camera facing the spot, checking for texture or whitecaps, wouldn't it?

Let's see if it does the same "hill/valley" deal today as yesterday.
At the launch area anyway, it was just "valley". LOL

Well, there is one hill (down to 9).
Any guesses on how many hills today?
I am guessing 6, there were 7 yesterday before 5pm.

Default website for wind

What's the best website to find the wind at locations in St Petersburg / Skyway?
