Major wind event
here at Bahia Santa Maria. We have 27 shrimp boats anchored right off the beach in front of our house. Always a bad omen of more wind to come. Anyone
else down here getting blown away?

Where are you again?
Here it is cool(well 70 is very cool to me!) and very cloudy. We had major wind this morning but dead calm now.
We cut our morning walk in half due to the wind.

thanks for the wind report - please hold some for us for late arrival this week!
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

Rob, any damage as a result of wind or waves?
I see we're on mid-tides this week.
Also, wind coming from the north I take it?
We are enjoying phenominal weather in coastal San Diego, Mission Bay and San Diego Bay are like ponds. 5 miles inland though very windy, strong
offshore all day.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Predictions of downslope winds in the LA Basin possibly reaching 80 MPH tomorrow.
Rather short-lived, though. May be over by Wednesday night.

Wind, Wind Go away. And take the shrimpers with you
It's windy here too. Up to 35mph so far today and yesterday the same. Some shrimpers, 9 boats, didn't brave the night winds last night but the one
Seiner was working all night and only came into anchor around 4 this afternoon.

I am looking for Bahia Santa Maria - there seem to be about four of them. One is near Cabo, another in Sinaloa, another near Bahia Magdalena.
BajaRob's seems to be either south or north of San Felipe. I remember another coming down the coast road from Puerto Santa Caterina to Santa
Rosallilito.

=============================================
It was a great place to fish 'in the old days' before homes and highways...
The shallow bay (that emptied at low tide) had no official name when we drove up the beach a mile and a half from Nuevo Mazatlan to fish there in the
1960's... We called it 'The Lagoon'.
Photo of mom with a double hook up of corbina at the lagoon ('Bahia Santa Maria' since about 1970).

Speaking of Shrimp Boats and wind!
Here is a photo from 1967 of the shrimp boat blown ashore during the '67 chubasco that wiped out San Felipe... This was behind the lagoon (Bahia Santa
Maria) , in a new back lagoon created by the chubasco.
The boat was never returned to sea, and it was slowly torn apart over the next 20 years.

Regarding the wind conditions. I just learned from accuweather.com that in Costa Mesa, CA, starting Wednesday night and going all day Thursday,
Santa Ana winds will be damaging, with gusts up to 80mph.

Here on the mid west coast, we've had downright balmy summer weather, very hot and windless...yesterday we had a mild dry santa anna type breeze from
the NE...guess we will tie down the palapa for thursday in case the santa anna winds get down this far...nasty! Juan's our fishing right now happy to
have only light breezes and a small swell.

Nomads,
Yep, windy up here in BCN (British Columbia ...Norte)
90 kph winds on the coast and whipping winds here inland with freezing ice-pellets and snow.... -7 Celsius this morning
I would rather be blown ashore in the Baja....as any good sailor might agree

Don't believe everything you think....

bajaguy, The boats are out about 200 yards now with lots of anchor line out because of the winds. Only the big seiner went out last night and is back
in anchored today.

Nice pic from 1967. As a young kid, our family camped at Bahia Santa Maria and I used to climb all over that shrimp boat. I plucked, er...salvaged
the brass port hole in the upper left of the wheel house (pic) and have it hanging in my garage to this day. Ah...the good ol days!

Why is it when shrimp boats are anchored near shore, the brown trout seem to beach themselves?
