I just noticed that Hopes Bank Beacon and Manly live wind readings are now available on seabreeze. Does anyone know if the Manly reading is just the RQYS Wind Meter www.rqys.com.au/weather-station/ ? or is it something else, readings look pretty similar at a quick glance, but I assume seabreeze does some processing of the raw data. Thanks heaps to the Seabreeze team and everyone else (BOM/RQYS!?) who got these wind meters up and going.

I've dropped the GPS coords into google maps and looks like Hopes Bank should be a pretty good reference for southside sailors around Manly / Wello.
