Norte coming Nov 2023

Pleasant surprise but the forecast appears to shifting to more easterly winds, fingers crossed.
Then again it is my vacation, so it may be false hope.

The north wind has been blowing like a banshee here in Austin for most of the day today (11/29).

As it is at my house in Lewisville. After more than 10 inches of rain and temps in the 90's over the last week it is currently 42F.
Meanwhile in Cozumel it is cool pleasant day. Low humidity and mid 80's. Goldilocks weather currently.

Weather Underground is not very optimistic: Cozumel, Mexico 10-Day Weather Forecast | Weather Underground

Winds are expected to start looking bad Wednesday with the direction lined up on the channel. Of course, that's several days out so it could go either way...

Blind optimism beats reality.

The "norte" came thru Galveston at midnight last night. Typical "norte" with sharp change of temp and some rain. Today bitter cold in the wind. My guess late Tuesday or Wednesday for Cozumel

High today in Lubbock was 48F, colder to the north, so enjoy your sweaty Cozumel if there. Feels like 97F...!

The gusts are strong but the direction bodes well for diving being open (at least in my experiences) but some of the southern sites might be closed (from Palancar south). Will be interesting to see how it plays out once it arrives. Two weeks ago the wind was similar strength and as long as it was coming from NNE or further east the port was open. It seemed like a true north or a NNW were the slam dunks for a port closure. Hoping for the best for you!!!! Windguru seems to the the most accurate predictor I've found.
