Preface: Since the Bodega ocean buoy is NW 23g29 and the 449Hz profiler has mean wind speed 35 Right on high, my beloved Pt. Reyes is 23g3 I'd better leave it alone:
Sunday weather forecast:
The strong northwest sea breeze eliminated the eddies and south coast winds, and the huge 3,100-mile-wide North Pacific high pressure and Great Basin low pressure seized the steering wheel of the weather machine.
Overnight, a massive Gulf of Alaska storm pushed the NPH to the west coast, with northerly winds battering beaches from Canada to Bahanan Cabo. Low pressure extends from Sacramento to the Stockton area to the northern Great Basin. This means that the northwest sea breeze turns to the west as it enters the bay.
This will focus on winds in the low to mid 20s from Rod and Gun to Benicia to Sherman Island and Anita Rock to Treasure Island to Berkeley. On the peninsula, this means winds in the 20s from the Stick/Flying Tigers/Haskins to Alameda areas. Coyote and 3rd had strong westerly winds in the English Channel, but up and down westerly winds at the launch site. platinum. Isabelle's performances to the racecourse have been mostly weak and up and down.
notes: 30-40 knot northwest wind ≈ 1000 feet aloft (975 MB) making surface winds extremely gusty, sometimes well above table values. Be careful when flying a kite. East Bay, Coyote and Third Winds can suddenly calm and explode.
