¡Buenos dias! An Oceansat satelllite pass last evening around midnight confirmed that the norte has died a quick death, with only 10-15 knot NNW winds measured near Cerralvo. All of the latest forecast model runs show the background flow will continue to decrease this morning, however one of the more reliable models…the ECMWF…shows a brief pulse of north wind this afternoon, with background flow increasing to just above the threshold for triggering our local wind machine. It’s a long shot, but with sunny skies expected, there is a slim chance of seeing rideable winds this afternoon. Friday will see similar conditions, and a couple of the forecast models do show just enough north background flow to give us a marginally windy afternoon. All of the forecast models are in excellent agreement that surface high pressure will become established over the southwestern U.S. on Saturday and send a new surge of north wind into the southern Sea of Cortez. At this point the model forecasts are in unusually good agreement that solid north flow remain through next week.
