Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
1139 AM PST Mon Feb 23 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Storm-force winds are ongoing across the Gulf of
Tehuantepec and downwind to about 13.5N with seas to 25 ft. 
Gale- force NNE winds extend further south to around 11N with 
seas in the 12 ft to 24 ft range. Winds will diminish to strong 
gale force speeds Tue morning, and gradually decrease in areal 
coverage until diminishing below gale-force late Tue night into 
Wed morning. Large seas generated from this very strong gap wind 
event will spread well away from the Tehuantepec area, with seas 
8 ft or greater reaching as far west as 105W, and as far south 
than 04N by tonight. Marine interests transiting across or in the
Gulf of Tehuantepec through Tue should be aware of this gap wind
event, and take the necessary action to avoid this hazardous 
marine conditions over the affected waters. Otherwise, fresh NW 
winds in the Gulf of California will diminish to moderate speeds 
this afternoon. Moderate or weaker winds are forecast elsewhere 
through Fri night.
