Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
152 AM PDT Wed Apr 22 2026

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure in the Gulf of America will continue
to weaken today as it shifts northeastward, leading to a
significant decrease in gap winds across the Gulf of Tehuantepec.
The weak cold front will continue to move southeastward and
dissipate later today. New high pressure behind this front will
build across the Baja waters today and Thu, and act to increase
winds modestly through early Fri before weakening into Fri night.
NW swell generated behind the front will continue to move across
the Baja California Norte waters and spread southeastward to the
Revillagigedo Islands through Thu. Seas are expected to peak to
around 8 ft across north and central portions of the Baja waters
with this swell. Elsewhere, mostly light to gentle west to
northwest winds are expected through the weekend.
