Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. PMZ001-251415- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 615 PM PST Sat Dec 24 2022 .SYNOPSIS...Very strong high pressure building across eastern Mexico and through the Chivela Pass is resulting in northerly strong gale gap winds in the Gulf of Tehuantepec region. Gale winds are forecast to last through Tue night and swell in excess of 8 ft will extend several hundred miles offshore through early next week. Elsewhere, a ridge will build SE through today, and act to strengthen winds to moderate to locally fresh across the Baja offshore waters, and fresh to locally strong inside the Gulf of California. High pressure will weaken Sun night through Mon allowing winds to diminish across the waters north of Cabo Corrientes. New NW swell will enter the regional waters over the weekend to raise seas modestly. $$ PMZ009-251415- Mexico Border S to 29N within 60 nm of shore- 615 PM PST Sat Dec 24 2022 .TONIGHT...NW to N winds 10 to 15 kt.
