Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
PMZ001-220930- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 230 PM PDT Tue Jul 21 2026 .SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Fausto is centered near 16.6N 119.9W at 21/2100 UTC, moving west-northwest at 10 kt. Estimated minimum central pressure is 987 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed is 65 kt with gusts to 80 kt. Peak seas are near 28 ft. Fausto will move to 17.0N 121.1W Wed morning, 17.4N 122.7W Wed afternoon, 17.7N 124.6W Thu morning, 17.9N 127.0W Thu afternoon, 18.3N 129.6W Fri morning, and 18.6N 132.3W Fri afternoon. Fausto will change little in intensity as it moves to near 19.4N 137.4W Sat afternoon. As Fausto moves westward and away from the region, high pressure will begin to build across the Baja California offshore waters Wed and Thu to produce moderate to fresh NW winds with isolated areas of strong winds during the afternoon and evening hours. Swells generated by Fausto are expected to reach the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula tonight, and persist for a couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. In the Gulf of California, mainly gentle to moderate southerly winds are expected. Fresh northerly winds are forecast in the Tehuantepec region during the overnight and early morning hours through the week, with locally rough seas.
