spr78 said...has anyone out there found a decent tide / swell / surf gadget that runs on win7 or vista?

there's one that runs in windows 7/ vista from the fawkner beacon feed... it could be modified for a qld feed.
There was a thread on here a while back. Search for "fawkner beacon to visual cortex" on google... but use wayback machine in order to get the thread before it was deleted.
