140 AM PDT Wed May 13 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Strong to near gale-force northerly gap winds will

then pulse again to near 30 kt Wed night through Thu morning as

these peak winds. Fresh to strong N winds will then pulse there
into Fri morning before gap winds end Fri afternoon. Fresh S to
SW winds will continue overnight in the northern Gulf of
California as a trough prevails, then become fresh to strong from
the W Wed evening and night. Otherwise, moderate to fresh winds
are expected across the offshore waters of Baja California
through Fri as ridging west of the area strengthens. Winds will
increase to fresh to strong well offshore Baja California Norte
this weekend. Moderate seas in mixed SW and NW swell will
dominate the offshore waters, building to 8-9 ft offshore Baja
California Norte Fri night, then to 8-14 ft on Sun, with seas of
8 ft or greater spreading southward to offshore of Cabo San
Lazaro by Sun night.
