Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
853 AM PDT Thu Jul 2 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A broad surface ridge across northeast Pacific
extends southeastward through 30N124W, then weakly south- 
southeastward to the Revillagigedo Islands today, and will drift
SW and weaken through the weekend, producing gentle to moderate 
winds for the Baja California offshore waters. Moderate NW swell 
moving across these waters will maintain moderate seas through 
through the weekend, as it mixes with cross-equatorial SW swell. 
Fresh to strong N gap winds will pulse nightly in the Tehuantepec
region through early next week.
