Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
842 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
central and southern Gulf of California Sat night and Sun night.
Large NW swell will maintain rough seas west of Baja California
until early Fri, then subside to mainly moderate, with another

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.
