Corrected Offhsore Waters Within 250 nm of Mexico section

Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from
03.4S to 30N, east of 120W including the Gulf of California, and
from the Equator to 30N, between 120W and 140W. The following
information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations,
radar, and meteorological analysis.

Based on 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
1545 UTC.

...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... 

A surface trough extends from near the Costa Rica-Panama border
to 09N100W to 08N112W to 07N125W, where latest scatterometer data 
indicates that it transitions to the ITCZ and continues to
07N133W to beyond 07N140W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong
convection is seen from 10N to 12N between 102W-110W. Scattered
moderate convection is within 120 nm south of the trough between 
87W-90W.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...Corrected

High pressure of 1028 mb centered well north of the area is 
providing for moderate to fresh northwest to north winds across 
the waters west and southwest of the Baja California peninsula. 
Seas of 6-9 ft in northwest swell are over these waters. Gentle 
to moderate northwest to north winds are over the Gulf of 
California, except for gentle southwest to west winds over the 
northern part of the Gulf. Seas are in the 3-5 ft range  in the 
central Gulf of California and 2-3 ft elsewhere in the Gulf of 
California. Gentle to moderate northwest to north winds along 
with seas of 4-6 ft are over the southern Mexican offshore 
waters, except for gentle to moderate northwest to north winds 
in the Gulf of Tehuantepec where seas are 4-6 ft due to a south 
to southwest swell.

For the forecast, the moderate to fresh northwest to north winds
will continue west of Baja California Norte through late Sat 
night, and west and southwest of Baja California Sur through Sat 
afternoon. Winds will be at gentle to moderate speeds afterwards 
going into next week. Long-period moderate northwest swell will 
remain west of Baja California Norte through Mon, and Baja 
California Sur through Sun morning before gradually subsiding
afterwards.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, and 
WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR

Fresh to locally strong northeast to east winds along with seas 
of 4-6 ft are offshore from the Papagayo region and southern 
Nicaragua. Gentle to moderate south to southwest winds along
with seas of 5-7 ft are between the west of coast of Colombia 
and Galapagos Islands. Light to gentle winds and seas of 4-5 ft 
due to a south to southwest continue across the remainder of the
offshore waters.

For the forecast, the fresh to strong northeast to east winds
from offshore the Papagayo region to the southern Nicaragua will
become gentle to moderate in speeds late Sat afternoon. Long- 
period moderate south to southwest swell across the much of the 
region will subside to light by the middle of next week.

REMAINDER OF THE AREA

A tight pressure gradient between a 1028 mb high off the 
southern California coast and lower pressure in the vicinity of
the ITCZ is maintaining moderate to fresh northeast to east 
trades from north of the ITCZ to 27N and west of about 123W. 
Long-period primarily northwest to north swell in this area is 
maintaining seas of 7-9 ft. Gentle to moderate east to southeast 
winds along with seas of 5-7 ft due to a moderate long- period 
south to southwest swell are noted elsewhere.

For the forecast, the aforementioned north to north swell will 
begin to decay on Sun and through early next allowing for the
7-9 ft seas to diminish in coverage. Elsewhere, southerly swell 
should maintain seas of 5-7 ft seas through the middle of next 
week.
