also noted within 120 nm either side of the monsoon trough
axis west of 125W.

...DISCUSSION...   

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...

Southerly swell of 5 to 7 ft will expand across the waters off
Baja California Sur on the eastern periphery of T.S. Roslyn
through late Wednesday. The main area of winds and seas will
remain beyond 250 nm, but squalls are possible across Clarion
Island and adjacent waters to the west tonight and early Tuesday.
Building high pressure over the Great Basin to the north of the
region will allow a brief surge of fresh northerly winds across
the northern Gulf of California through late Tuesday morning.

A cold front is forecast to move across the Gulf of Mexico
waters tonight followed by a stronger cold front on Thursday.
High pressure behind the fronts will likely induce the first Gulf
of Tehuantepec gap wind event of the season by Wednesday night
into Thursday morning. Marine guidance suggests Northerly winds of
20-30 kt with seas up to 9-10 ft by Thursday.

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

Mainly light and variable winds are noted north of the monsoon
trough while gentle to locally moderate south to southwest flow
is expected south of monsoon trough the middle of the week. Combined
seas of 3-6 ft, primarily in long-period southwest swell, are
expected through the middle of the week.

REMAINDER OF THE AREA... 

A cold front moving southeast out of the north central Pacific
will weaken the subtropical ridge to the north of the region for
the next couple of days. This will maintain gentle to moderate
northeast winds across most of the region outside of areas of
tropical cyclone activity and north of the monsoon trough with 5
to 6 ft seas. moderate to occasionally fresh southerly flow will
dominate south of the monsoon trough with 6 to 7 ft seas.
