Tropical Weather Discussion
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1005 UTC Thu Aug 6 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
0800 UTC.

...TROPICAL WAVES...

The axis of a tropical wave is near 86W, north of 03N, moving 
westward at 10 to 15 kt. Nearby convection is discussed in the 
ITCZ/Monsoon Trough section below.

The axis of a tropical wave is near 102/103W, north of 02N, 
moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. Nearby convection is discussed in
the ITCZ/Monsoon Trough section below.

The axis of a tropical wave is near 122W, north of 02N, moving 
westward at around 5 kt. Nearby convection is discussed in the 
ITCZ/Monsoon Trough section below.

The axis of a tropical wave is near 138W, from 02N to 19N, 
moving westward at 10 kt. Nearby convection is discussed in the 
ITCZ/Monsoon Trough section below.

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

The monsoon trough extends from 10N85W to 10N104W. The ITCZ 
extends from 10N104W to 09N120W, and resumes from 10N125W to
10N135W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is 
noted from 02N to 10N east of 108W, and from 08N to 16N between 
111W and 135W.

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

Fresh to strong winds, and moderate 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
to locally moderate winds, and slight to moderate seas, are over
the Gulf of California.

For the forecast, fresh to strong gap winds and building 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. Gentle to moderate winds are 
found between the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador. 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. 

...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
near 138W is supporting moderate to fresh winds, locally strong, 
from 15N to 20N and W of 130W. Seas over these waters are near 8
ft in the area of fresh to strong winds. Elsewhere, gentle to 
moderate winds and moderate seas prevail across the discussion 
waters.

For the forecast, seas to 8 ft will accompany the tropical wave 
as it moves westward through tonight. Farther south, southerly 
swell to 8 ft will move into the waters south of 05N and west of 
100W through the latter part of the week.
