Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
206 AM PDT Mon Apr 13 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front will move slowly across the Baja Norte
waters and the extreme north portions of the Gulf of California
today, then gradually dissipate across central Baja and the
central Gulf of California on Tue. Expect light to gentle NW to N
winds across the Baja waters tonight and Mon ahead of the front,
before winds begin to freshen Mon evening through Tue. High
pressure behind the front will build across the region and
dominate conditions through the rest of the week. Fresh to strong
SW to W gap winds are expected in the northern Gulf of
California through around midnight Mon night ahead of the front,
with winds then becoming moderate to fresh from the N through the
entire Gulf early Tue morning through Wed evening. Elsewhere
between Baja Sur and Puerto Angel, winds will be moderate or
weaker with moderate seas through Tue. Pulsing fresh to strong
northerly gap winds will prevail across and downwind of the
Tehuantepec region through late Tue morning.
