Ah yes, we have it locked off on the Bay from the previous solid swell. I'll swing it around again. 

That being said, I haven't been that impressed with the view of the point (from where it's located), and thetre's no need to look out to Suicides really (as you can tell what's happening out the back of the Bay).

So when we upgrade the cam in the next month or two, we're going to put in a fixed cam on the Bay. I will also see about putting in a second, fixed cam off the point though.

Cheers TB.
I agree with your comments but on the smaller swells a view of the point will give a slightly better indication than the bay (like today).
Agree suicides is not really necessary other than you can see the outer reef from bashams that give a clue as to the real size and direction of the swell.
The second cam would be great if from a slightly different angle to avoid the sunsrise
