... not good enough!!
seems this season is more fickle than ever,
constantly checking the wind graphs to capture the elusive 'magic moment' we so rely on...
... want more info!
maybe time to trump, and get more private wind meters installed in our favorite spots,
shearwater, main beach, currumbin, kirra etc
any tech investors, please contribute, pm me
we need more ammo to piss off our bosses and get more locked in rides

cost us 1250 NZD for a windmeter and another 100 a year for the web access report stuff as a subscription fee. probably cheaper in oz

Look outside. Trees blowing its windy, if not then its not windy. Pretty easy.

It would be a waste of time and money as Mayor Tom Tate and his Cronies will twist and change any rules and just get his developer mates to be given the land next door and build some massive big developments that will block and shadow the wind to your meter. Like he is trying to do everywhere else and completely feck the Gold Coast well and truly forever.
