I don't pay much attention to the sensor - don't know where it is, who owns
it. The pattern I look for is fog jaming past Pt. Isa/over Richmond on the
way to the delta. When you are coming from Marin on 580 east, you get an
awesome view of the fog bank: when i'ts moving, you can just tell it's
going off. If Pt. Isabel blows all day long, and fog bank is moving in the
North direction, good chance of Davis blowing. If Larksput and the delta
are blowing, Davis Pt. is definitely raging.
My experience sailing there is what you see on shore is what you get out in
the channel. First couple of times I also rigged smaller then on shore,
slogged, came back to rig bigger. It is not like 3rd where the wind in the
channel can be very different from shore.
Keep in mind that even when the wind is a lame 6.0, the swells can be nice,
as they have a long fetch to develop. I've been there on a 4.7 day (4.2
for most others) the swells were easily the biggest/smoothest I've sailed
in the bay area.
Diff topic: how was the coast on sat? the pager looked amazing - wind and
s. swell. The delta had decent 6.0 sailing.

Interesting....
I typically sail Davis Point a few times a year. Normally there is decent
correlation with the sensor. However, in late May I went out there with a
bunch of buddies on an ebb day when the sensor was averaging around 30. It
didn't look super windy when we got there, but like you we figured it must
be nuking just off shore. We were all on 4.7ish sails and small (8'2'' to
8'4'') boards. We ended up slogging all the way out to the channel 1 to
1.5
mi before we hit the wind. I wasn't nearly as windy as it would have
indicated on the sensor in years past. I wonder if that sensor has gotten
screwed up?! It may also be *very* susceptible to wind direction.
By the way, I've been to Davis Point when it's solid 4.0 off the beach and
HUGE swells out in the channel, and the sensor was ready in the mid to high
20's. The rule for Davis Point I once heard from Godsey is that it works
best during the same patterns that may Larkspur go.
