The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of some meteorological phenomena on the wind potential of Baja California. For this aim, a literature search of the meteorological phenomena known as Santa Ana winds, and of the North American Monsoon, was performed. The presence of them was observed in wind speed and the wind direction time series was obtained from meteorological stations. A filtering method was applied to the data to display more details of each phenomenon. Both the meteors were presented every year, while changing the predominant wind direction and wind speed. The Santa Ana wind increases significant wind speed in short periods of time, and their presence varies from days to weeks, while the North American Monsoon decreases the wind speed, and occurs during the summer for a period of months. The measurements used in research are the automatic stations of Comisión Nacional del Agua, at sites of Tijuana, La Rumorosa, Ensenada, Mexicali and Bahía de los Ángeles.
