Cape Wind
by Ryan Schenk
Cape Cod Wind displays the current wind speed and direction via wind barbs on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hovering the mouse over a barb will reveal more detailed information, including the speed to the nearest mph, direction to the nearest degree, and the last time NOAA updated the sensor. Perfect for windsurfers and sailors who live on the Cape.
If you don't know how to read wind barbs, I have written a quick tutorial located at http://plasticvicar.com/capeWind/windBarbs.html

December 16, 2005 · version 2.1 Mark RodgersGlad our data is useful to you, and to respond to an earlier comment, don't worry, we're not going to sue any windsurfers for using the wind data we post on our website. Good luck on catching the wind!
Best,

October 01, 2005 · version 1.0 Ryan SchenkI've received a complaint that the wind data is very stale (like a month old). Since this is happening for one person, it's probably happening to all of you. There is a new version of Cape Wind in the works that fixes this problem (and adds new features and three new sensors), which should be ready in a week or two, so hang in there.
