How this is modelled

Each figure is the share of days with three consecutive daylight hours at 12 knots or more. A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it, run over 2023-2024. Good for comparing one place with another, weaker for one beach.

What the spot record warns about

  • Boat and jet-ski traffic in the surrounding Delta waterwaysWind can build quickly and strongly once the Delta thermal fills in
  • Muddy/marshy bottom in places
  • Levees and riprap along parts of the shoreline - keep clear
  • Remote location with no lifeguards
  • Advanced public launch with little room for mistakes and directly onshore wind at the County Park launch
