Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. PMZ001-160830- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 116 PM PDT Wed Oct 15 2025 .SYNOPSIS...NW swell moving through the waters W of Baja California will gradually subside through Thu morning. Fresh to strong, locally near gale-force this evening, northerly gap winds will persist in the Gulf of Tehuantepec through early Thu afternoon. Meanwhile, a broad area of low pressure, Invest EP91, is offshore southern Mexico near 12.5N95.5W. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this disturbance, and a tropical depression could form late this week or over the weekend. The system is forecast to move little during the next couple of days, but a slow west-northwestward or northwestward motion near the coast of southern and southwestern Mexico is expected by the weekend. Regardless of development, expect the potential for increasing winds and building seas. $$ PMZ009-160830- Mexico Border S to 30N within 60 nm of shore- 116 PM PDT Wed Oct 15 2025 .TONIGHT...NW to N winds 15 to 20 kt.
