What time of year? Different seasons typically have different directions and amounts of wind.
Cortez side is windy in the winter, very calm in the summer.

We know there will be some wind, just don't want to chase a hat each day.

Valle de la Trinidad is nice. Mild climate and close to Ensenada. I've never known it to blow there.

We are exploring all possible places right now. My biggest criteria would be an area that does not have a ton of no see ums. They love me.

Valle de la Trinidad looks nice on Google Earth. How long does it take to drive to Ensenada? Do you know anyone living there that could recommend a
contact for long term rentals?

From the south part of the valley it takes about 20 min to drive downtown. I don't know as there would be a rentals contact, though. I know some folks
who live there. It would be best to scout around as it's starting to become a frou-frou place.

On the cortez side the central region, St Rosalia to Loreto, seems to have the most calm days and the wind is less severe.
Some coves and baylets are naturally protected by the land around them that provides local calm areas. Papa Fernandez is like that.
But there is no place on either coast without wind.
The Vizcaino desert is a very windy region but San Ignacio is almost always warm and calm. The winds always diminish there and remain calm into St
Rosalia and southward. Perhaps the Tres Virgenes are responsible for the weather change.

Have encountered the winds most everywhere in Baja and at most anytime of the year, though winter is more constant!
If you purchase a house or build one, the answer is to build outdoor living spaces on all sides. Or...maybe build some sort of protective wall to
shield you from the prevailing winds, so that you still enjoy the outdoors on a sunny but windy day.

Nomad Amigos...Here\'s hoping you all have safe Baja travels, amazing sunrises, sunny days, comforting breezes, beautiful sunsets, tasty tacos,
cold cervezas and frosty margaritas!!

scratch Loreto area for wind...the northers howl in the winter months and the dry blasts from the west which can come almost anytime are amazingly
fierce. most of the summer one welcomes whatever breeze one can get. except chubascos...
and then of course there is hurricane season...
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

No kiddin'? What ever happened to the extensive pot plantations and the wars between the growers and the military?

The wind is your ally against bugs! If you have a solid wall between you and the
wind, the sun will keep you nice and warm.
La Ventana and Los Barriles are windy in the winter due to El Norte, San Jose and Cabo seem less so. San Jose is lovely.
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.
