So I'm down at carrum downs and it's pretty blowy but the frankston beacon looks quiet. Is that beacon accurate? Because the other beacons in the bay show wind
Aloha!
Be careful with the Frankston beacon. It is located on the top of the coast guard building next to the kids playground near Olivers Hill.
You can rely on it only from West to North winds. Any other direction is sheltered by the hills around!
If you want to check how the wind and waves are go to the website of the Pattersson Lakes Motor boat club. There is a weather Station and a Webcam at the mouth of the river. Perfect!.....But it's not working at the moment and I hope they will fix it soon as this is the nearest spot to where I kite in Seaford.
