🌊 TARFish Weather Buoy Update
St Helens is back online! 🌊

After a period offline for maintenance, troubleshooting and a few upgrades behind the scenes, the TARFish St Helens weather buoy is back up and running !!

These systems are a great example of how a bit of community passion and technology can come together to improve recreational fishing and general boating navigation.

Over the downtime, we have been working through fault finding, learning more about the hardware and software that keeps these units operating, and making improvements so we can keep providing reliable real-time information.

The St Helens buoy is now back live, providing current conditions from the water around the FAD it is tethered to
This give anglers , commercials and even surfers a better picture of what’s happening offshore before they plan a trip .

Remember, the buoy is there to help inform decisions only...
ALWAYS check the forecast, know your limits and make safe choices on the water.

A big thanks to everyone who has been patient while we worked through the process.

Technology is only useful when it works… so we’ll keep learning, improving and keeping these little floating weather stations doing their job. 🌊
