Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
1224 AM PDT Tue Jul 22 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong SE winds in the northern Gulf of 
California will diminish in the next few hours, with moderate to 
fresh winds thereafter through tonight. Pulsing fresh to locally 
strong north gap winds will continue in the Gulf of Tehuantepec 
into Wed night as a diurnal surface trough is expected to move 
from the Yucatan Peninsula to Veracruz, Mexico. Winds will then 
pulse to moderate to fresh there thereafter. Winds are likely to 
freshen west of Baja California by mid-week as the pressure 
gradient tightens slightly, then increase to fresh to strong 
mainly north of Cabo San Lazaro by the end of the week and into 
the weekend. Winds may build to around 8 ft there by the start of
the weekend.
