Baja Bash Weather Window Forecast
The Baja Bash has one master: the North Pacific High. When it builds strong and far enough north, you motor 800 miles up the Pacific coast of Baja California in glassy conditions. When it falters, you're beating into 25-knot headwinds and square seas from Cabo San Lucas to San Diego.
Experienced Bash sailors spend hours poring over GFS runs, pressure charts, and ensemble models to answer one question. We answer it with a single number.
What is the Pacific High Window Score?
The Window Score distills the atmospheric signals that experienced passage-makers watch — North Pacific High position and intensity, pressure gradient along the Baja coast, wind direction, and swell exposure — into a single 0–100 daily forecast for the next 7 days.

Built for the cruiser sitting in a marina in La Paz, Cabo San Lucas, or Puerto Vallarta asking the question every northbound sailor asks: Is this the week?
