Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. PMZ001-121600- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 856 PM PDT Wed Mar 11 2026 .SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure will build in the Gulf of America in the wake of a cold front, allowing strong winds to funnel across the Chivela Pass into the Gulf of Tehuantepec Thu morning. These winds will rapidly reach near gale-force speeds later in the morning and accelerate to gale speed early in the afternoon. Rough seas are expected to develop to 10 ft on Thu morning, becoming very rough to 17 ft by Thu evening. Gales will prevail through Fri morning, then winds will gradually reduce in speed and areal coverage through Sat morning. A ridge will continue to build towards Baja California Sur and Cabo Corrientes through Thu, while new NW swell spreads across the waters of Baja California Norte. Moderate to fresh NW to N winds are expected between Baja California and Cabo Corrientes, including Las Tres Marias, through tonight. Northwest fresh to strong winds along the Gulf of California will diminish to moderate speeds Thu morning as the ridge weakens modestly across the area. $$ PMZ009-121600- Mexico Border S to 30N within 60 nm of shore- 856 PM PDT Wed Mar 11 2026 .TONIGHT...NW to N winds 10 to 15 kt.
