Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
739 AM PST Sun Feb 23 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A robust ridge over NE Mexico will force strong to
near-gale force northerly winds across the Tehuantepec region
through Tue morning. Rough seas are forecast with the strongest
winds. Looking ahead, a strong northerly gap wind event with
gale-force winds is possible in the Gulf of Tehuantepec starting
Thu night. Meanwhile, a tight pressure gradient will support
moderate to fresh NW winds in the central and southern Gulf of
California and offshore of southwestern Mexico through Mon,
locally strong near Cabo Corrientes. Seas of 5 to locally 8 ft
will accompany these winds. Moderate to fresh NW winds and NW
swell will affect the offshore waters of Baja California Norte
Mon night through Tue night, with seas peaking near 12 ft. The
decaying swell will spread into the Baja California Sur waters
late in the week.
