Catamaran cruising out of La Paz Mexico

[Hungry Eagle]

Does anyone have advice for a one week sail out of La Paz in July? Best anchorages to shield from the coromels? Yes it’s going to be hot.

1 week won't get you far -- basically all within Bahia de La Paz and most subject to (not forecasted) corumels.

From our experience:

Partial Corumel protection (problematic if especially strong Corumel):
Caleta Lobos
Caleta Partida (part of it)
Playa Bonanza
San Evaristo (not a lot of space)

Good protection from Corumels:
North anzd NE sides of Isla San Francisco (but totally open to Northers)
Bahia Amortajada (Isla San Jose; open to Northers)
Other side (east) of Caleta Partida

Little to no protection from Corumels:
Anchorages on west side of Islas Espiritu Santo and Partida
Main anchorage of Isla San Francisco

just looked at the next 10 days on Windy, at various times during the day every one of those anchorages has 12-20 kts onto a lee shore. I advise dive on your anchor to check the set, and adopt a philosophy of “we eat what the cook serves”? Also you may get lucky and be able to pick a few days of less wind? Its bloody hot in July, but I love the nights.
