Looks like really good but gusty winds for Rasta Beach, La Ventana and Los Barriles Saturday 15. This is the same set up that used to give Baja’s East Cape wild El Norte winds that started at midnight and roared all day. Long time La Ventana full time resident Dean DeVolpi who lives next to the…
Strong NNE winds best at La Ventana, less reliable towards Rasta Beach and weaker for Los Barriles. (See ikitesurf.com for detailed forecast and velocity tables) 1, The wind killing clouds are now safely south of Cabo. 2. At dawn North Pacific High is sending strong NW winds down the Pacific side and some of that…
Wind Battle: WNW vs. NNE surface wind over the beach area. Remember the winds just aloft will probably be westerly. Things could change overnight but right now I would forecast unreliable winds near shore especially for Tuna to Rasta Beach. More reliable towards South Beach. Notice the possible wind killing cloud forecast if they are…
Bottom Line: Weak NE winds might briefly touch low-teens near La Ventana & a bit weaker Rasta Beach and faint for Los Barriles. Mid to upper NW winds on Pacific side. Today’s Wind Recipe: If you are a good cook you may know that sinking feeling when the pantry is bare and its 5 days…

I am not forecasting today but there should be interesting winds. Cool dry strong El Norte winds to our north weaken in our area. But they may interact with moist warm southerly winds 9000 feet aloft. This happens as we begin a transition to southerly Sea of Cortez winds Saturday due to the Cut Off…
Limp winds today but tomorow “Small Dog Warning” winds for dawn as we see a Blast from the Past. Bottom Line: Possibly weak NE foil range winds with some strong N. gusts in the mountains. If you are camping, you best secure gear and small dogs in preparation for blasty predawn winds tomorrow especially near El…
