Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
1214 AM PDT Wed Apr 9 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Strong gale-force northerly winds will continue in
the Gulf of Tehuantepec through this morning while wave heights
with these winds peak to around 16 ft. These conditions will
briefly diminish this afternoon, then are forecast to pulse to
gale force late this evening through early Sun. Moderate to
fresh northwest to north winds will continue across the Baja
California Norte waters through this morning. Winds will be
moderate or weaker elsewhere and otherwise through Fri night.
Winds may increase briefly to moderate to locally fresh offshore
Baja California Norte Sat and Sat night due to an approaching
cold front. Winds in the northern Gulf of California may increase
to fresh to strong Sun night near the feature. Meanwhile, large
NW swell offshore Baja California Norte will slowly decay through
today, at which time the swell will be confined to just
southwest of the offshore waters. Southerly swell will build wave
heights to rough from south to north starting Thu, then subside
by the end of the week. Another set of large NW swell may impact
the Baja California waters this weekend.
