A deepening trough over the southwest U.S. will induce near gale force southerly winds ahead of the front in the northern Gulf of California tonight. Large NW swell, with seas from 8 to 11 ft, prevail across the offshore waters of Baja California. Large long period NW swell associated with the cold front will sweep southeastward west of the Baja peninsula through Fri morning, peaking near 14 ft off Baja California Norte tonight, then gradually subside through Saturday. Looking ahead, another set of NW swell will move into the waters off Baja California Norte early Mon.
