...DISCUSSION...

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... 

Please see special features section above for more on gales
associated to the remnant low of Tropical Storm Xavier.

Elsewhere, a ridge extending from 1027 mb high pressure near 
39N140W to just west of Baja California Sur will continue to 
dominate the area the next several days. A light to gentle 
anticyclonic flow around this ridge will prevail west of the Baja
California Peninsula.

Gulf of Tehuantepec: A cold front will shift across the Gulf of
Mexico later this week. The cold front is currently forecast to 
reach the Bay of Campeche by the start of the weekend. This will
help usher in the next gap wind event. Winds are forecast to 
build to near gale force late Saturday, with the possibility of 
reaching minimal gale force Saturday night. 

Gulf of California: High pressure will build over the Great
Basin region later this week. This will support fresh to strong 
northerly winds over the northern gulf through Sat morning.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND 
WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...

Light to gentle winds are forecast north of the monsoon trough. 
Gentle to moderate southwest monsoon flow is expected south of 
the monsoon trough through the middle of the week before
diminishing. Long period SW swell will push north of the equator
into the waters off Panama and Costa Rica tonight into Wed.
   
REMAINDER OF THE AREA...  

Moderate to locally fresh winds prevail N of the ITCZ and west 
of 130W, while moderate southeasterly flow is noted south of the 
ITCZ. Seas to 9 ft, in N to NE swell, are noted over the waters 
NW of a line from 30N122W to 24N140W. Seas over this area will 
begin to subside today. A new set of northerly swell will 
propagate into the northern waters Wednesday, with seas building 
to 8 ft N of 28N between 120W and 131W.
