Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
133 AM PST Thu Feb 26 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will continue to dominate the forecast 
waters offshore of Baja California through the remainder of the 
week, producing mainly gentle to moderate NW winds with moderate 
seas. Locally fresh winds are expected N of Punta Eugenia tonight
and Thu. Similar wind conditions are expected offshore of Cabo 
San Lazaro Sun night through Mon night as the pressure gradient 
tightens across the area between a stronger high pressure to the 
W and lower pressures over northern Mexico. In the Gulf of 
California, gentle to locally moderate winds and slight seas will
prevail. Moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas are forecast
elsewhere through the upcoming weekend. Fresh to strong 
northerly winds are expected in the Gulf of Tehuantepec Mon and 
Mon night.
