Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
735 AM PST Fri Feb 21 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure over NE Mexico will force
gale-force N winds across the Gulf of Tehuantepec through Sat
morning. Peak seas to 12 ft are expected near and downstream of
the strongest winds. Winds will diminish below strong force and
seas below 8 ft by Sun morning. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh N
to NW winds and rough seas will occur north of Punta Eugenia
through late this morning. Otherwise, gentle to moderate NW winds
will prevail offshore of southwestern Mexico and in the Gulf of
California into Sat. Looking ahead, moderate to fresh NW winds
will develop Sat night in the central and southern Gulf of
California and offshore of southwestern Mexico as a strengthening
pressure gradient develops between building high pressure in the
eastern Pacific and troughing in western Mexico.
