I also check the two weather stations (SBI01 and 45005) before I go out and canceled Friday's trip before we left home. Over many years I've noticed a couple things and wonder if anyone agrees. Since 45005 is a bouy and at water level, I trust its wind readings, but wish it was a little closer to the islands and reefs. I do not always trust its wave height readings, but wind speed and direction pretty much tell you what the waves will be. On the other hand SBI01 is on land and elevated. It seems that its wind readings are often on the high side. The exception being NE winds during which SBI01 always seems low. For instance, on Friday (May 17) SBI01's sustained wind speeds were almost all from 11 to 13 mph while Vermillion was in the upper teens and Toledo Light house (THL01) was in the 20s. From what people are saying about the waves, it sounds SBI01 was low. I think that's because SBI01 is on the SW corner of South Bass Island and gets some protection from the island itself when there are NE winds. Anyone else noticed the same?
