Wadell Sensor seems to be missreading direction and speed

I looked at Davenport about 5:30 today it was going off with people mostly on smaller than 5.0 and working logo high waves on the North Peak.
I then checked out Waddell and the directions was not NNE it was more NW
and about 10 to 15

Readings were far from real.

Really, it was windy at the beach?
I heard it was not that good,
it rarely is down there...

It will not be good tomorrow either.

Yes, when the wind is very north,
it does not read very accurately.
But sometimes that is not bad thing,
since no one was there today
when it was windy after lunch.

I went to waddell today and got out once because the wind was so light on the inside. Then I went to sail at davenport and was way overpowered all the way from the inside. And yeah there were a couple of sets that came through but those seemed to die out by 6. Anyway I think the waddel sensor was pretty much right on.

The direction was not East
It didn't have an Easterly component and there were kiters out but no Windsurfers.
At Scotts Creek it was even going off.
