NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1005 UTC Fri Aug 7 2026

Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from
03.4S to 30N, east of 120W including the Gulf of California, and
from the Equator to 30N, between 120W and 140W. The following
information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations,
radar, and meteorological analysis.

Based on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0730 UTC.

...TROPICAL WAVES...

The axis of a tropical wave is near 91/92W, north of 03N, moving
westward at 10 kt. Nearby convection is discussed in the 
ITCZ/Monsoon Trough section below.

The axis of a tropical wave is near 106/107W, north of 02N, 
moving westward at 10 kt. Nearby convection is discussed in the 
ITCZ/Monsoon Trough section below.

The axis of a tropical wave is near 125/126W, north of 02N, 
moving westward at around 5 kt. Nearby convection is discussed in
the ITCZ/Monsoon Trough section below.

...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...

The monsoon trough extends from 10N85W to 10N97W. Segments of 
the ITCZ extend from 10N97W to 10N105W, from 08N110W to 07N125W 
and from 07N129W to 07N140W. Scattered moderate to isolated 
strong convection is noted from 04N to 11N between 95W and 111W,
and from 03N to 09N between 125W and 130W.

...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...

Fresh to strong winds and moderate to locally rough seas are 
over the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Moderate or weaker winds, and 
moderate seas, prevail over the remainder of the open waters off 
Mexico. Gentle winds and slight seas are over the Gulf of 
California.

For the forecast, fresh to strong gap winds and rough seas are 
expected across the Gulf of Tehuantepec into the weekend. 
Elsewhere, a moderate pressure gradient will support mostly 
gentle to moderate winds across the offshore waters of Mexico. 
The pressure gradient between high pressure NW of the area and 
lower pressure over the Colorado River Valley will support fresh 
southerly winds across the northern Gulf of California late this 
weekend into early next week. 

...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, 
AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...

Fresh to strong winds, and moderate seas, prevail over and 
downstream the Gulf of Papagayo. Light to gentle winds and 
moderate seas are noted elsewhere. 

For the forecast, fresh to strong gap winds and occasional rough
seas will pulse across the Gulf of Papagayo into early next 
week. Moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas in SW swell are 
expected across the remainder of the waters through the period, 
except for large SE to S swell near the Galapagos early next 
week. 

...REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

High pressure prevails over the waters N of 20N. The pressure
gradient between this area of high pressure and a tropical wave
just west of 140W is supporting moderate to fresh winds from 15N
to 20N and W of 135W. Seas over these waters are near 8 ft. 
Rough seas to 8 ft are found over the waters S of 05N between 
100W and 120W. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and moderate 
seas prevail.

For the forecast, seas to 8 ft in the western tradewind waters 
will subside by Sat. Farther south, southerly swell to 8 ft will
impact the waters south of 05N and west of 100W through the 
weekend.
