Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
147 AM PDT Thu May 14 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Strong northerly gap winds will continue to pulse
across the Gulf of Tehuantepec through early Fri due to high
pressure across NE Mexico and the western Gulf of America. Seas
will peak around 10 ft with these peak winds. Fresh W to SW gap
winds will pulse in the northern Gulf of California tonight
through Thu morning as a trough briefly deepens, with similar
conditions expected again each night through Sun night.
Otherwise, moderate to fresh NW winds are expected across the
offshore waters of Baja California through Fri as high pressure
well to the NW gradually builds into the area. Winds will
increase to fresh to strong well offshore Baja California Norte
this weekend, and mostly fresh across the remaining Baja waters,
then diminish Mon. Moderate seas in mixed SW and NW swell will
dominate the offshore waters today, gradually building to 8-9 ft
offshore Baja California Norte early Fri night, then to 9-15 ft
early Sun through midday Mon. Seas of 8 ft or greater are
expected to spread southward to the Revillagigedo Islands by
early Tue.
