Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
612 PM PDT Sat Mar 14 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Large NW swell will move into the outer offshore
waters off Baja California Norte near Guadalupe Island through
Sun night, then will subside. Elsewhere, a weak pressure pattern
over the region will maintain gentle to moderate breezes and and
moderate seas over the open waters off Mexico, with slight to
moderate seas in the Gulf of California into next week. High
pressure will build across eastern Mexico in the wake of a cold 
front moving into southern Mexico. The pressure gradient between
this area of high pressure and the equatorial trough will 
support gale force gap winds across the Tehuantepec region 
starting Mon night and persisting into mid week.
