Bottom line: Models are all over the place regarding wind speeds, but all agree on an unfavorable westerly wind direction. This means our winds will travel over mountains, causing the wind to ripple and randomly reach the surface. Do not launch during brief periods of high winds as you may become trapped in the wind tunnel.
Today’s trendy recipe: Today’s recipe has more Basura-inspired ingredients.
1. 60 knot SSW wind blowing over us from near cutoff low at about 18,000 feet.
2. This creates a surface low near the central Sea of Cortez, which generates strong northerly winds from San Felipe to Muleg, and strong sporadic adverse westerly winds near the La Ventana launch site.
3. Since this kind of wind blows offshore and must go over mountains and ridges, it usually does not reach the shore except randomly appearing at the mouth of the river.
4. At the same time, a cold front moved through, bringing cooler temperatures and cloud cover, mostly to the south of us.
5. Lurking to our south is the terrifying subtropical jet stream, but it's not adding to today's recipe for disaster.
notes: Likewise, use caution when fishing and kayaking near the arroyos in the morning's clear waters, as strong westerly winds are possible at random.
Window area: The upper and lower northwest winds can sometimes reach strong winds of more than ten degrees, but it can easily lead to death. Strong on the outside and strong on the inside.
Sergeant to Rasta: Weak westerly, nearshore winds with random blasts and calms. It's stronger outside and near large rivers.
bucket: Up and down changes, northeast to south winds, reaching the teens at times, but stronger heading toward Punta, Colorado
