Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. PMZ001-220945- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 242 PM PDT Mon Sep 21 2026 .SYNOPSIS...Recently upgraded Hurricane Polo is near 15.1N 102.7W, or about 250 nm south-southeast of Manzanillo, Mexico at 2 PM PDT, and is moving east-southeast at 5 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 75 kt with gusts to 90 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 974 mb. Polo will move to near 14.9N 102.3W late tonight with maximum sustained winds 100 kt gusts 120 kt, to near 14.9N 102.0W Tue afternoon with maximum sustained winds 125 kt gusts 150 kt, to near 15.4N 102.2W late Tue night with maximum sustained winds 140 kt gusts 170 kt, to near 16.1N 102.9W Wed afternoon with maximum sustained winds 145 kt gusts 175 kt, then begin to slowly weaken as it reaches to near 17.0N 104.0W late Wed night and move to near 17.7N 105.5W Thu afternoon. Polo will move to near 18.6N 108.6W Fri afternoon. Otherwise, moderate to locally fresh NW winds will prevail across the offshore Baja California waters through early Fri morning when conditions in Baja California Sur offshores will start to deteriorate due to the proximity of Polo. Looking ahead, Tropical Storm Odalys currently well to the southwest of the southern tip of Baja California is forecast to strenghten to a hurricane and reach near 20N121W on Sat. Also, an area of low pressure could form in a few days to the south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Thereafter, environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual development, and a tropical depression could form late this week or this weekend while the system moves slowly west- northwestward to northwestward, parallel to the coast of southern and southwestern Mexico. $$ PMZ009-220945- Mexico Border S to 30N within 60 nm of shore- 242 PM PDT Mon Sep 21 2026 .TONIGHT...NW winds 10 to 15 kt.
