Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
236 PM PDT Wed Mar 11 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure will build in the Gulf of 
America in the wake of a cold front, allowing strong winds to 
funnel across the Chivela Pass into the Gulf of Tehuantepec Thu 
morning. These winds will rapidly reach near gale-force speeds 
later in the morning and accelerate to gale speed early in the 
afternoon. Rough seas are expected to develop to 10 ft on Thu 
morning, becoming very rough to 17 ft by Thu evening. Gales will 
prevail through Fri morning, then winds will gradually reduce in 
speed and areal coverage through Sat morning. A ridge will 
continue to build towards Baja California Sur and Cabo Corrientes
through Thu, while new NW swell spreads across the waters of 
Baja California Norte. Fresh to strong NW to N winds are expected
between Baja California Sur and Cabo Corrientes, including Las 
Tres Marias, through this evening. Northwest to north winds will 
then freshen inside the Gulf of California this afternoon, 
reaching fresh to strong speed through the night. Winds will 
decrease Thu morning as the ridge weakens modestly across the 
area.
