Point Sur buoy offline

Carmel's own buoy (Point Sur) has been offline since Sat, Oct 24. Carmel ratings are estimated from CDIP's MOP wave model when the swell is from the northwest, and from the Monterey Canyon Outer buoy otherwise. In past data this read Carmel calmer than it really was about 1 time in 6, so treat these ratings with extra caution.
