Sailing on the Salish Sea
If you’ve been watching the models this week, it has been a very interesting roller coaster ride with conditions going from extensive areas of calm to gale-force winds. Right now it looks like it could be a very nice race with wind around the course and enough breeze to make it exhilarating for the run through the Race to the finish. Particularly if you’re going through around the time of max ebb early on Sunday morning when we could have 20-30 knots of westerly. It will be like sailing in the Waring Blende
Today’s surface analysis chart shows a weak trough of low-pressure running up the interiors of California, Oregon, and Washington with a building high-pressure system (1031MB) offshore. This will keep the pattern we have seen in the Straits for the last couple of days holding over the weekend and into next week. That pattern is one of light breeze in the morning but building in the Straits in the afternoon and into the overnight hours.
