May have missed it but where is the "Northern Beaches " graph reading from?
Thanks Laurie......
Bugger, when I read the title I thought one was going in on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Just goes to show what wishful thinking can do to your comprehension.

This station is located near fishermans beach and is good for reading the wind pretty close to the beach. Its pretty good at reading the wind in NW-E direction and southerly. Long reef golf course does affect the readings from a SE direction so readings may be a bit lower.
Enjoy .. Lozza 
Noice work Laurie 
I guess its location will make it on to the 'Maps' map...eventually
'cos we gonna forget about this posting in about 10 minutes 
I just spotted the new graph too, good onya Laurie.
So, just down the road from home and nearly next door to the shop. It will be great for summer. 
Who is going to take a guess on which building its on???
Yehaa, it is Sydney. When I saw the guy asking the question was from WA I was sooo let down, but now it's come true

Sth Narra is a better spot. Less wind interference.
Will be very interesting to see how the readings compare to whats on the water this season.
Thanks again Laurie.
HI Laurie,
Unfortunately I think that name change makes for more confusion as South Narrabeen is 2kms north of where the wind guage actually is. 2km doesn't seem much but the difference in wind from the collaroy basin area to south narrabeen is often pretty big particularly on lighter nor-easters.
The most common name for the Brownwater/Fishermans beach area is Collaroy Basin which would make more sense and be more accurate.
Apart from that I'm stoked to have readouts coming in from down the end of the street. Means I don't even have to waste time walking to the street to see if the wind is in. Thanks for making life easier Laurie.
Sam.
Great work peanuticus - but I think Collaroy basin is the go...never heard of Sth Narra
(PS. I think that kiter/poley thing is peculiar to WA......given they're all a bit peculiar over there [}:)] )
Good on you Peanuticus!!!!!!!!
Your avatar looks very much like Longy lagoon with the plateau in the background.
Hope you werent kiting in there after some rain
there is a reason not to use the 'exact' location for the graph, the actual location cannot sustain more than a handful of kites safely and there have been numerous accidents involving trees, houses and handgliders etc, its not a safe place to learn. however Narrabeen is a much safer place hence choosing that. anyway, as long as 'you' know where it is it should not really matter.
thanks for the thanks, I may look at trying to upset the locals at palmy and get one setup there, if there is interest in people making the small investment and there are enough then it can be so. :)
