strong S of Punta Eugenia through Sat morning. Northerly winds 
will become fresh to strong tonight through Fri night in the 
southern half of the Gulf of California. Gentle W to NW winds 
will dominate the waters between Cabo Corrientes and Tehuantepec 
through Sun.

WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... 

High pressure north of the western Caribbean will maintain 
moderate to fresh NE to E winds in the Gulf of Papagayo region 
through Sun. Light to gentle winds are expected elsewhere across 
offshore waters, except for the Gulf of Panama, where moderate 
northerly winds will pulse each night through the weekend. Long 
period SW swell will continue in the Galapagos Islands region 
through tonight. 

REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

A broad ridge extending east-southeast from 30N140W to near the 
Revillagigedo Islands will maintain an area of fresh to strong 
trade winds from roughly 06N to 22N west of 124W through Sun. 
Seas in this region will be between 8 and 13 ft, with the peak 
seas occurring Sun night and Mon.

A deep-layer trough across the NW part of the discussion area 
continues to support a few showers from 05N to 09N west of 136W. 
Elsewhere, NW swell associated with a dissipated surface trough 
across the northern waters will support seas to 8 ft north of
