Seems every time I've viewed it over the last few days there has been no wind.

Is it broken ?

Can anyone confirm this ?

It looks like it's buggered up again.
It's not that there's no wind... just that there's no reading. ;)

The Fawker beacon wind-o-meter (i'm no scientist!) has been been down since around midday on Monday last week. Over a week now. Tried to contact them and they said it will be back up shortly. Its been a week already....

Problem is, every other wind site on the net uses the data from the fawner beacon for their own applications, so there's been nothing available at all... kinda sux when you don't live that close to the beach to just pop down and check the wind.
