Current Forecast Race Day 27:

Forecasts for Saturday and Sunday by Arnaud Monges, former America’s Cup Team Meteorologist

Saturday October 12

In the morning the winds will be offshore and light. By mid-day, a South-South-West wind gradient already present offshore will reach Barcelona and build quickly in strength. In the early afternoon, We expect 13-16 knots from the direction 220°. During the afternoon, the wind should not increase in strength but rather decrease slightly by a few knots. During the afternoon, the waves will be aligned with the wind and be just shy of 1 meter at a 4-second interval. The sky will be cloudy all day with warm and humid air advected from the South. Rain should occur further inland and there is a small risk it may affect Barcelona.

Sunday October 13

Sunday will see a return of sunny conditions. In the afternoon, we expect an Easterly wind around 5 to 7 knots.
