Scheduled service of wave radar and met station |
| 01/04/2014 | The data gap from 1100 yesterday to 1030 today was due to a power fault |
| 03/01/2014 | The pier suffered a power outage for a couple of hours this afternoon due to an electrical storm |
| 23/12/2013 | Rental unit swapped out. |
| 10/12/2013 | A hire REX has been installed until the original is returned from the manufacturer following repair works |
| 12/11/2013 | REX currently offline following water ingression until remedial works can be carried out |

| 06/05/2011 | The phone line has been cut off. It will be re-instated as soon as possible |
| 23/07/2010 | Scheduled service |
| 01/05/2010 | A fault has developed with the air temperature sensor and, possibly, the wind vane. The faults are being investigated, but the recent service has not solved the problem and some of the instruments may require replacement. |
| 28/04/2010 | The Rex is being serviced (the spikes in the record result from the service procedures) |
| 15/10/2009 | WaveRex was serviced, an extensive amount of oxidation was found. A full clean will be done during the next visit. |
| 23/02/2009 | Data have been intermittently disrupted due to fluctuating power supply to the Pier. |

| 01/08/2006 | The wave processing software appears to be under-estimating the significant wave height slightly. This is under investigation. |
