SYNOPSIS
Our last passage of 2026 is one of our popular Sail Training passages on FALKEN. While all of our trips involve extensive seam'nship & sail training aspects, this one focuses primarily on just that. As it's a pretty short distance between the start port and end port, it gives us the flexibility to sail further offshore and set the boat up for all points of sailing, practicing upwind/downwind, spinnaker flying, some celestial sights and more.
typical Weather Pattern
In October off the coast of Ensenada, Mexico, you can expect moderate maritime weather conditions. Winds predominantly blow from the northwest at around 10-15 knots due to the prevailing influence of the North Pacific High. Ocean currents typically flow southward along the Baja California Peninsula. Daytime temperatures average around 70-75°F, while nighttime temperatures can drop to 45-50°F. The likelihood of rain during this period is generally low, providing sailors with pleasant sailing conditions along the Ensenada coast.
