236 deg is more a westerly component than a southerly one, only 34 deg off completely westerly. None of the mini obs show easterly winds. I'm getting confused now, lol, I know which way tropical waves move. :wink:

Thanks thudnerchief, that helps explain why they didn't find any west winds. It's because they couldn't go across the coastline.
