modelled
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.
Wind on the beach
- The shoreline at Baywinds Park runs NW-SE with the bay to the northeast, so the steady NW is side-shore, blowing down the beach toward the San Mateo bridge.
- That is why the upper launch downwinds onto the lower beach.
- W comes in side-offshore.
- SW is close to straight offshore over Foster City, which is where the gusty, shifty feel comes from and why a gear failure on a SW day means swimming upwind.
- Derived from the shoreline orientation and the launch-to-launch downwind relationship, not from a stated spot figure.
What the spot record warns about
- rocks
- slippery mud flats and ramp
- bike path and pedestrians
- windsurfing corridor
- downwind exits are limited
- rocks and rocky shoreline
