A mediocre, and height challenged local, who happens to live near one of the better cafe's to park near and be seen at, has volunteered to let Laurie use feeds from his "who's at the cafe spy cam" and weather station.
Now the rednecks from the northern beaches will be able to tell when its windy enough to head down to the cafe, yay!
Or to do something really useful like polish the wheels on their cars?
Meanwhile its blowing and the wave is happening at Dolls.

I'm suprised more people in Oz don't do this sort of thing. In Cyprus, a guy called Mirco has strapped a wind meter and webcam to his roof and gives updated readings every 10 minutes:

I suppose Seabreeze in Oz is a lot more reliable than windfinder is in Cyprus so it isn't as necessary. But it is very handy to be able to see exactly what's happening at the location and see if any kiters are out etc.
The bloke is a legend!
