Default arrrrgh wind meters!!!

ikite shows it NUKING from the south on Sunday
usairnet shows pretty much the exact opposite.. NW and barely blowing..

WTF!!??

When I was at Jupiter 3 weeks ago.. sensors on ikite showed it to be 17. i got to the beach it was blowing EXACTLY 17.

amazing how technology works in some areas.

how can we have so many area sensors off the mark?

arrrgh.

Was at East Beach all Day! Had a great session with Mike Hall. Thanks Mike for the advice as always. Very helpful dude. Started off slow but got to mid 20's.. Check the Egmont and Anna Maria sensors for idea of winds on the Bay. Seem to be pretty close as the Skyway is down. Ikite showed nothing for today, but NWS pretty much called it. 15-20knts. Tomorrow should be nukin but wet.

Keep an eye out for some newbies out there. Didn't invest in very much lesson time. Really struggling. Feel free to put on some pressure out there to keep it safe for everyone.

What time you think the storms are going to clean up and we will get some steady conditions? You guys must have loved the rain in the eyes, huh? Seems like a good time to try that double down winder (S - NW) if the wind clocks around.
