Wind Speed graphs

The Wind Speed graphs show average and "gust" Wind Speeds. The average Wind Speed is calculated from all the values recorded during the five minute sampling period, including the "zero" values when the wind drops completely. The gust speed is the maximum speed recorded during the sampling period. The difference between the two should give you some idea of how "blustery" it is on the beach.
