Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
857 AM PDT Mon Sep 14 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will build across the offshore waters of
Baja California, bringing moderate to locally fresh NW to N winds
through the early part of the week. Expect fresh winds across
the northern Gulf of California through the early part of the
week due to the pressure gradient between the ridge and lower
pressure over the Colorado River valley. Winds will freshen again
off Baja California by the end of the week, locally strong near
Punta Eugenia. Looking ahead, expect strong to near-gale N gap
winds and rough seas across the Tehuantepec by the middle of the
week.
