beWindWise and know the wind before you leave home.

Particularly useful for windsurfers, kite-boarders, yachties or anyone participating in a wind or water sport. It is also nice-to-know information for the family picnic.

Anemometers measure the wind speed and direction. This information is collated and transmitted to the website every ten minutes. The website then shows this windspeed as gust, average and lull. See the location maps showing the windstation sites.

Current sites are:
The Estuary, South New Brighton, Lake Ellesmere, the Waimakariri River Mouth, Lyttelton Harbour, Waikuku Beach, Lake Waihola.
