Join the locals at the Botanical Gardens tonight at 7 PM as we set out our strategy for the protection of our local breaks, water quality and beach access. We'll be getting a report on the City of Miami Beach plan to put gigantic metal sculptures just offshore from Penrods. Anyone think that will impact our waves-when we get some.

Posted July 21st, 2007 10:05 PMFowey wind data down....
OK the Fowey Rocks wind data failed on July 17th. NDBC knows about this and typically they take at least a couple of weeks to fix this. Here's a couple of links to the RSMAS wind gauge. Its typically a bit lower than Fowey, since its closer to ground than Fowey. But hey, its something.
