Ya, it's not like the winds 30 or 50 feet above the surface are

And by a lot.

And some reporting stations are just *wrong*!

It's enlightening to hear the Tolchester station report calm or 3 knots
at the top of the last hour when I was inside the anchorage seeing a
solid 12, and the anchorage is fairly well protected compared to the
breakwater.
