Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
1212 AM PDT Fri Mar 20 2026
.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between high pressure across
eastern Mexico and the equatorial trough is supporting
gale-force N-NE winds and associated rough seas in the Gulf of
Tehuantepec. The gale force winds are forecast to continue into
early Sat before diminishing. Elsewhere, a weak pressure
gradient will support light to gentle winds, increasing to
moderate to fresh near Baja California this weekend as the
pressure gradient tightens slightly. Moderate seas will prevail
over the open waters, with slight seas in the Gulf of
California. Seas are likely to build in fresh N swells off Baja
California Norte late in the weekend into early next week.
