This year, most of our winds on the East Cape are a combination of light local hot and medium-scale winds. Over the past few decades, most large winds have originated in the 4th corner of the United States and roared along the Cortez's ocean at the N-to-Nne angle. This angle allows it to go directly to the Rasta Beach, La Ventana and Los Barriles launch sites.
This also means that the wind blows hundreds of miles of the sea, forming a large expansion for a long time.
Most of our strong days in recent years have been a combination of local hot and NNW winds from the Baja North Pacific Highlands. This creates a problem. The NNW wind is slightly remote with most of the sea on the coast of Cortez, so some of the winds must be exceeded
peninsula. This makes wind more unreliable than wind in water. This also means that unless there is a local pressure gradient that will be bent to the NNE wind energy bending, the wind will not reliably reach the coast.
But what does this mean for expansion?
Old friends talk about the huge expansion over the past few decades… are they right or are they just blowing old steam?
I'll explore this in a later blog, but these graphs show the Surface NW and NNW winds in the North Pacific Highlands and how they affect the size and period of expansion.
