San Luis Sensors old and new

[ctuna]

The old San Luis call in phone line Sensor only is stuck on North as a direction. I called the sensor all through the period that the iwindsurf Sensor was down and got only North as a direction. I was told its not being maintained . Don't tell me direction doesn't make a difference. The iwindsurf Sensor went down again this afternoon.

Use this for wind direction (Avg & Gust):

around 275 is the normal wind direction
0 - 20 for strong offshore wind days

The Los Banos sensor is available here on iWindsurf as a backup to the main San Luis Res sensor:

Thx Geo,

I didn't know it was there because it never shows on this page:

http://www.iwindsurf.com/windandwhere.iws?regionID=128&geographicalAreaID=6

It only shows the iWindsurf sensor....

Yeah, you can check the direct link above for Los Banos sensor's page, or you can find it on the CA_San Luis Reservoir region on the new (beta) system:

That one is a zoom region from the CA_Santa Cruz region:

Unfortunately, the Los Banos sensor is located almost in the exact spot of the iWindsurf sensor, so when the iW sensor is working, it might deactivate the Los Banos sensor on that particular zoom map. In that case, if you want to seem them both, just click the "Dynamic Map" link below the map...then zoom way the heck in and you'll see them both.

When the iW sensor is down, the Los Banos should show right up as a backup.
