Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
757 PM PDT Mon May 11 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong northerly gap winds will develop in 
the Gulf of Tehuantepec late tonight and then pulse at night 
through early Thu, reaching near gale-force at times during the 
late night and early morning hours. Seas will build to rough at 
times with the stronger winds. Fresh to strong SW winds may very 
briefly develop in the northern Gulf of California Tue night as a
trough develops. Otherwise, mainly gentle to moderate winds will
prevail across the remainder of the offshore waters, increasing 
to moderate to fresh offshore Baja California by the end of the 
week as ridging W of the baja Peninsula strengthens. Winds may 
increase to fresh to strong well offshore Baja California Norte 
this weekend. Mainly moderate seas in mixed SW and NW swell will
dominate the offshore waters, potentially building to 8 ft 
offshore Baja California Norte by the end of the week, then to 
8-11 ft Sat.
