I spend a fair amount of time on the Oregon and Washington coast. I can't remember the last time the wind was blowing from anything but the North. And I barely remember the last calm day. I have also read a fair number of cycling stories. Believe me, you do not want to go South to North. Unless maybe you like pedaling into the wind, not breeze, wind. Like having to pedal downhill. My experience in bicycling in California along the coast wasn't anything like up here.
