Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
146 AM PDT Mon May 20 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A broad surface ridge will continue to dominate the 
offshore forecast waters of Baja California throughout the week. 
The pressure gradient between this and lower pressures over 
Mexico will continue to support moderate to fresh NW to N winds W
of the Baja California peninsula. Winds will pulse to strong 
speeds N of Cabo San Lazaro Mon night. New NW swell will enter 
the outer forecast waters of Baja California Norte today and 
dominate Baja waters through Wed. Seas are expected to build 8 to
10 ft N of Punta Eugenia late today through Wed, with seas 
subsiding below 8 ft on Thu. Light to moderate concentrations of 
smoke, due to agricultural fires, are expected to maintain hazy 
skies and may reduce visibility over portions of southern Mexico 
through Tue.
