OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... A NW to SE oriented trough will meander across the Baja California Peninsula and the Gulf of California, with a surface low developing intermittently along the trough, in the far northern Gulf waters. An E-to-W orientated ridge will meander from 23N116W to 17N106W through the middle of next week. A moderate NW breeze is forecast across the EPAC waters W of the Baja California Peninsula into early next week, with seas in the 5 to 6 ft range.
