Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
147 AM PDT Tue Sep 26 2023
.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to locally strong NW winds will persist off
Baja California north of Cabo San Lazaro into mid week between
high pressure north of the area and a trough over the Gulf of
California. Winds will then gradually diminish Wed through Fri as
the ridge shifts NW. Seas will build 8 to 12 ft in new NW swell
offshore Baja California Tue through Thu before slowly subsiding
Fri through Sat. Farther south, moderate to fresh N gap winds
will pulse to strong across the Gulf of Tehuantepec Tue night.
Looking ahead, expect fresh westerly gap winds over the northern
Gulf of California starting late Fri ahead of an approaching
cold front, possibly reaching near-gale force by Sat night.
