Wind – April 20, 2025

¡Buenos dias and Happy Easter! A pass by the Oceansat satellite just after midnight measured solid 15 knot NW winds near Cerralvo as a late season surface high pressure system centered near the 4-corners region of the U.S. continued to produce unusually strong background flow over BCS. Infrared satellite loops early this morning showed another perfectly sunny day ahead, so again our local thermal will be firing on all cylinders. Model forecasts show the surface high will weaken on Monday, but enough north background flow should remain to give us a rideable day. Tuesday continues to look like a transition day, with only marginally rideable conditions. A light wind regime is then forecast to form on Wednesday and continue through at least Friday. Long-range models show some hope for a fairly weak north pulse next weekend.
