Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
207 PM PDT Thu May 22 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Pulsing fresh NW winds will occur each night near
Cabo San Lucas as troughing resides over Baja California Sur.
Elsewhere, moderate to fresh NW winds are expected north of Punta
Eugenia into Sat, with pulsing winds expected offshore of much
of the peninsula Sat into early next week. In the northern Gulf
of California, winds will pulse to strong speeds nightly into the
weekend. Rough seas in NW swell will prevail offshore of Baja
California Norte through Sat before seas slowly subside into the
weekend. In the extended forecast, an area of low pressure is
likely to form early next week several hundred miles south of the
southern coast of Mexico. Conditions appear favorable for
development of this system, and a tropical depression could form
around the middle of next week while moving westward to west-
northwestward at 10 to 15 kt. There is a medium chance of
development within the next 7 days.
