Tropical Weather Discussion
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1605 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
1500 UTC.

...TROPICAL WAVES...

The axis of a tropical wave is near 88W, 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 104W, 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 123W, 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 09N78W to 10N88W to 10N95W.
Segments of the ITCZ extend from 10N95W to 10N103W, from 10N107W
to 10N120W and from 10N125W to 10N135W. Scattered moderate
convection is active from 02N to 07N between 80W and 90W. Scattered
moderate to isolated strong convection is noted from 10N to 16N 
between 85W and 105W.

...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 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. 
Looking ahead, 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 to strong winds are
active 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.
