Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
621 PM PDT Sun Mar 15 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A weak pressure pattern over the region will 
maintain gentle to moderate breezes and and moderate seas over 
the open waters off Mexico, with slight to moderate seas in the 
Gulf of California. High pressure will build across eastern 
Mexico in the wake of a cold front moving into southern Mexico. 
The pressure gradient between this area of high pressure and the 
equatorial trough will support gale force gap winds across the 
Tehuantepec region starting Mon night and persisting into mid 
week. Near-gale force gap winds and rough seas may pulse again 
across the Tehuantepec region Thu and Fri.
