I think Palo Alto and Tigers/Coyote/3rd are fueled by different
wind streams. I seem to remember the Windfinder publication showing
several peninsula gaps fueling different wind streams.

baseball game at the 'Stick implies no wind. It will be unfortunate to
lose that sailing site when the Giants relocate.
