During the takeoff roll, a sudden change of wind direction to the north was experienced. The pilot was attempting to counter the wind gust when he overcorrected with the right brake and rudder, causing the aircraft to veer off the runway. The pilot shut down the engine but the aircraft continued into a dry creek bed and the nose gear was broken off.
