152 AM PDT Thu Apr 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh NW winds will persist off Baja
California through Sun, although strong winds may briefly pulse
off Cabo San Lucas during overnight hours. In the central Gulf
of California, moderate to fresh with locally strong winds are
anticipated tonight. A similar scenario is also forecast for the

gale force northerly gap winds may develop in the Gulf of
Tehuantepec late Sun night, which could increase further to
minimal gale-force early next week.
