overnight in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Winds are forecast to 
strengthen in the northern Gulf of California Thu through Fri 
night. Moderate to fresh winds will be offshore Baja California 
Norte through Thu night, locally strong tonight just S of Punta 
Baja. Mainly gentle to moderate winds will prevail elsewhere. 
Moderate seas will prevail across the open waters over the next

light to gentle winds will prevail. Moderate seas in S to SW 
swell will prevail over the regional waters during the period, 
except building to rough S of the Galapagos Islands by the end of
