¡Buenos dias! The wind gauge at Rasta yesterday showed a very slow climb from around 1 pm until around 2:30 when it reached a steady 12-14 mph for around an hour, giving several of us a nice foil session. We will likely see a similar day today, as model forecasts show the background north flow teetering right on the edge of what is normally needed to fully trigger our local wind machine. In situations like this we usually see the best chances for rideable winds on the north beaches. Sunday will see a significant increase in north background flow as models are in good agreement that an expansive surface high pressure system will build southward from Canada into much of the U.S. Monday will likely see a continuation of solid north flow and with another sunny day expected, our local thermal should be in fine form. The surface pressure gradient is then forecast to weaken rapidly on Tuesday, leaving us with only marginal north flow at best. Models are then hinting at a slight increase in winds for Wednesday and Thursday and with continued sunny days expected, we could see rideable conditions. Long-range model forecasts are in good agreement that Friday will likely see only light onshore breezes.
