Comparing monitors, Swell and Doug 57A

[einhorn]

The new Doug's sensor reports more data points and shows more ups and downs. More data isn't necessarily good, like sitting too close to a tv. So which one more closely feels like the wind on the water? The more frequent sensor or the smoother line?

When I'm sailing I'll notice some holes occasionally, but in general, if I've rigged properly, it usually feels pretty smooth, with some inevitable ups and downs.

To me the Doug's 57A sensor feels dead on to what the wind is doing
at Doug's (unless it's NNW). The Swell City sensor is rarely close
to what I excperience at the Hackery.

To me it seems that the Doug's 57A sensor reads somewhat high.
Example, last Sun. it was reporting about 30 with upper thirties gusts. It really was not that strong on the water at all. At 130lbs. I was on 4.0 and I was never OP-ed
