Right now its reading 0-9, avg of 4 when about a mile west, Rowena is 22-35 avg 29. Anybody been noticing any serious discrepancies from this sensor lately?

I am in The Dalles and it is really up and down, almost calm at times. Eastern Gorge sites are really up and down as well. This is an unusual system....

I just finished sailing at Dougs. My 4.2 was working OK but it is gusty and only a small swell. The wind is only in the middle of the river.

I live near the Doug's sensor which is 2 mi East of Doug's. It is working accurately but when the direction is West, Squally Point creates a shadow and the sensor will underestimate what's really happening at Doug's. Better to rely on the Rowena sensor when the direction is West.
