What was mentioned yesterday about the wind being dead above Pigeon Point
was right on, especially if any Fog is present.
Typical summer patterns for wind on the Coastside follow:
If its blowing hard on The Bay, its often dead north of Pigeon Point
to Stenson Beach.
The normal onshore flow starts about 11-12 Noon, but isn't strong enough to
board sail until after 1:00 on many days. Once the breeze does fill in it
will blow until well after sunset.
The best weather stations to compare the DIFFERENCE between, to see if
there is wind, is the SF Pilot Station and Pigeon Point at around 12 to 1
PM. If the difference is more than 10 knots you should have good winds on
the coast in the afternoon.
And, as always, note the temperature in the Central Valley sites like
Stockton and Sacramento, if its over 90 there we often get a really nice
late afternoon breeze on the Coastside.
Smooth, fast, sailing...
