Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
128 AM PST Wed Feb 25 2026

.SYNOPSIS....High pressure that was N of the area has started 
to shift eastward. This has weakened the pressure gradient 
across the area, with now mainly strong to near gale-force winds 
across the Tehuantepec region and seas peaking near 13 ft. The 
area of high pressure will shift farther eastward tonight, 
further loosening the pressure gradient and causing winds to 
further diminish. Large seas generated from this gap wind event 
will spread well away from the Tehuantepec area, with seas 8 ft 
or greater reaching as far west as 115W and south to the Equator 
through this afternoon. Looking ahead, a round of fresh to strong
winds is possible in the Gulf of Tehuantepec later this weekend.
Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas are 
forecast elsewhere through Sat night.
