YeeHaw! EARLY, STRONG, GUSTY El Norte winds everywhere. But winds are strongest south of Los Barriles to Cabo Pulmo.

Bottom Line: Winds in the low to mid-20s are filled with gusts and lulls, especially near shore. The strongest winds are south of Los Barriles.

Today’s Wind Recipe: Grandpa’s FAVORITE! 

1. Add a big dollop of high-pressure smack-dab in the middle of the 4-Corners region.

2. This aligns the isobars to create very favorable NNE winds down the length of the Sea of Cortez.

3. This NNE wind is accelerated by low-pressure south of Cabo.

4. At ≈ 1000 feet aloft (975 MB), powerful NNE winds add a gust factor to the surface wind and bring it to the beaches early.

5. Heat created valley low-pressure also adds to the wind and brings a steadying factor.
