PMZ001-170930- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 230 PM PDT Thu May 16 2019 .SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong westerly gap winds will pulse over the northern Gulf of California overnight as a cold front pushes trough the region. Long period swell will also follow the front off the coast of Baja California north of Cabo San Lazaro from Fri through late Sat. Farther south, smoke will continue to impact visibility along the coast between Manzanillo and the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Looking ahead, another front will move across Baja California early on Mon brining another round of NW swell to the waters off Baja California through next week, and strong gap winds to the northern Gulf of California by late Tue. Tropical cyclone activity is very unlikely in the Mexican offshore waters through at least the next several days. $$ PMZ009-170930- Mexico Border S to 29N within 60 nm of shore- 230 PM PDT Thu May 16 2019 .TONIGHT...NW winds 15 to 20 kt.
