The lake fills with salt water when a high tide coincides with large swell (or with fresh water after the rare large rainfall) and pours over the beach. Very consistent, 80% of the afternoons. Range is 15-30 mph. Wind from North, thermal wind midday thru afternoon usually under 20knots. When El Norte kicks in it gets windier. East wind is fluky and tends to die off early. Not much wind in the off-season. La Ventana has a combination of 3 winds, all from the north or northwest: A strong thermal, a venturi between two tall mountain ranges, and the famous 'El Norte'. Season late October to March. Warm winters, hot summers tempered with breezes, describes La Paz's weather. The Baja is narrow at this point, so the Pacific Ocean has some influence on the weather here, making it cooler than settlements further up the sea of Cortez coast. It averages only 6 inches of rain per year, and most of that is in August and September. Winter temps in the 70°Fs and 80s°F, can get as low as 50°F at night, so bring warm clothes for camping. Water in the 70s °F, shorty is handy. Water: Flat. Features: None. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
