I have two questions about "sundowners" because I am only in my second year in SB. First, are they misnamed? I ask this because I have experienced and heard of such winds beginning many hours before sundown, even early afternoons; or are these a different kind of early afternoon wind? I know that when I fished in norcal the spring- summer winds usually seemed to pickup at about 1:00 PM and seemed to taper off at sundown.

Second, what months are the most likely to produce sundowners? I know the frequency of Santa Ana winds from month to month, but not for sundowners, which I presume are a different kind of wind.

Thanks.

Bob
