¡Buenos dias! As is often the case with marginal background north wind, yesterday was a tale of 2 bays, as northern beaches peaked at 16-19 mph while the wind gauge at the campground showed 13-16 mph (sometimes only 12 mph). Model forecasts for today show a variety of solutions, but a couple of the more reliable ones show the background north flow falling below the level to fully trigger our afternoon wind machine. Models are in better agreement that Friday will see sufficient north flow to give us a windy afternoon, but Saturday will again be in that zone of maybe yes…maybe no. A weak ridge of high pressure is still forecast to form over the central Baja Peninsula on Sunday, with increasing north flow here. Long-range model forecasts show a slow-moving storm system over California on Monday will push the surface high to our north southward, with our winds becoming more westerly. The low over California will move only slowly eastward on Tuesdsay into Wednesday, so we may see a prolonged period of winds with a significant west component.
