Wind – January 14, 2026

¡Buenos dias! Several satellite passes last evening measured NW winds of 15-20 knots over the southern Sea of Cortez, and similar wind speeds are forcast to continue today. Model forecasts show a significant west component in the background flow today, and although our local thermal should be able to pull most of the west out by this afternoon, northern beaches may see some wind shadowing. The going forecast remains essentially intact, as surface high pressure over the western U.S. will basically remain in place and produce ample north background flow over the BCS through next weekend and into next week. The background flow will weaken very gradually through the next week, but with sunny to mostly sunny skies expected each day, our local thermal bring an added boost.
