The La Ventana & Los Barriles launch site wind forecast for the current day can be found on iwindsurf.com or kitesurf.com.

First notice how our high-pressure wind machine is still anchored over the Four Corners.

But notice how its pressure gradient isobar lines do not even reach the Sea of Cortez much less La Ventana. That is why the wind has mostly died in the San Felipe to Mulege area and why our swell is smaller.

Now check out the low-pressure isobar lines south of Cabo which w

These will suck some wind past Los Barriles and La Ventana.

Since La Ventana has the dead-end valley Los Planes Valley downwind it also has a stronger Local Sea Breeze that will augment the larger scale wind.

The high clouds you see in the AM will be mostly gone this afternoon and will not impact the wind
