Well, it's a dream come true...
It was 1997 when I drove up the (then) limestone track at Woodman Point for a session, and first thought "I wonder if I could get a wind reading from here available at home to save me driving all this way for no wind?"
I saw that there was a wind cup on the Cockburn Cement building, and the crew there took me to have a look at it, and it was an old analog unit with a guage on the wall.
After many stop/starts, and life generally getting in the way, the day has now finally arrived where there is now a brand new wind meter installed on the top of the Cockburn Cement building at Woodie Point, and graphed here on Seabreeze.com.au
It's still being tested/validated - if you want to have a squiz, there's a test page available.
All looking good, but some directions might be a bit out of whack because of the building - we're looking at getting a longer pole.
Big shout out to Stewie & Roy at CC for all their help and support in getting this meter happening!
Woot! 
go u good thing , maybe the next step maybe a cc tv for the smash and grab little scum bags, i have a nine iron waiting for a face to be inbedded in
Well done Laurie and all involved, its people like you that make seabreeze what it is today.
Hey Laurie - Good Job! - The wind readings and the new information that you're getting from the meter on the Cockburn Cement building seem good. Any news on when the information might be added to the main Perth page?
thanks to all the Seabreeze for an awesome work as always!!! cheeeeersssss
...surf up!!!
Great work Laurie......
Can a small pin be added to stop the turbine giving a reading on those epic days in Jan/feb, so some of the locals can actually use it? just for 1-2 days per week.
Obviously thered still be a few blow ins.. Once the toilet paper starts flapping madly next to the Wicked camper vans, the secrets out....
Hi Laurie
just out of interest, what wind directions have been causing issues and what directions have been reliable?
Hi Laurie
Would it be possible to get a “push notification” on the iphone app whenever the winds speed at a particular spot hits 18kts?
Great work on the site and the iphone app is excellent
Cheers
Steve
