Interesting....

I typically sail Davis Point a few times a year. Normally there is decent
correlation with the sensor. However, in late May I went out there with a
bunch of buddies on an ebb day when the sensor was averaging around 30. It
didn't look super windy when we got there, but like you we figured it must
be nuking just off shore. We were all on 4.7ish sails and small (8'2'' to
8'4'') boards. We ended up slogging all the way out to the channel 1 to 1.5
mi before we hit the wind. I wasn't nearly as windy as it would have
indicated on the sensor in years past. I wonder if that sensor has gotten
screwed up?! It may also be *very* susceptible to wind direction.

By the way, I've been to Davis Point when it's solid 4.0 off the beach and
HUGE swells out in the channel, and the sensor was ready in the mid to high
20's. The rule for Davis Point I once heard from Godsey is that it works
best during the same patterns that may Larkspur go.
