...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...
A recent scatterometer satellite pass confirmed fresh to strong
winds over the Gulf of Tehuantepec, although these winds have
likely diminished this afternoon. Moderate winds are elsewhere
south of southern Mexico. Gentle to moderate winds are west of
Baja California Norte, except for fresh NW winds funneling off
Punta Eugenia. Light to gentle winds are elsewhere across the
discussion waters. Seas are in the 4-6 ft range over the open
waters off Mexico, and 1-3 ft in the Gulf of California.
For the forecast, fresh to strong winds in the Gulf of
Tehuantepec will pulse overnight. Winds are forecast to
strengthen in the northern Gulf of California Thu through Fri
night as pressure lowers over the southern Colorado River valley.
Moderate to fresh winds will be offshore Baja California Norte
through Thu night, locally strong tonight just S of Punta Baja.
Mainly gentle to moderate winds will prevail elsewhere. Moderate
seas will prevail across the open waters over the next several
days.
...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA,
AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...
Moderate to fresh winds are over and downstream of the Gulf of
Papagayo. Light to gentle winds are elsewhere N of 04N. S of
04N, gentle to moderate winds prevail. Seas are in the 4-6 ft
range, reaching 7 ft between Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.
For the forecast, moderate to fresh winds will pulse across the
Gulf of Papagayo through late Fri. Gentle to moderate winds will
prevail between Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. Elsewhere,
light to gentle winds will prevail. Moderate seas in S to SW
swell will prevail over the regional waters during the period,
except building to rough S of the Galapagos Islands by the end of
the week. Looking ahead, fresh to strong gap winds may return to
the Gulf of Papagayo early next week.
...REMAINDER OF THE AREA...
High pressure prevails over the waters north of 20N. Gentle to
moderate winds prevail across the discussion waters. Southerly
swell of 7 to 8 ft is evident south of 05N and west of 110W.
Elsewhere seas are mainly 4 to 6 ft across the open waters,
except to 7 ft south of 15N and west of 135W.
For the forecast, cross equatorial, rough southerly swell will
continue to move into and cover the waters S of 06N and W of
100W through the end of the week, with a reinforcing set this
weekend. Seas may build to near 8 ft in fresh N swell along 30N
between 120W and 130W at the end of the week into the weekend.
Winds will freshen S of the ITCZ today, persisting into the
weekend.
