Ship observations and recent scatterometer satellite pass 
indicted moderate NW winds off Baja California north of Cabo San 
Lazaro, with fresh winds possibly funneling along the coast. Seas
are 5 to 6 ft north of Cabo San Lazaro in NW swell. Farther 
south, fresh to strong winds are noted between Socorro Island and
Clarion Island related to Ten-E, with seas estimated to be as 
high as 10 ft in this area. Light to gentle breezes are noted 
elsewhere, with 3 to 5 ft seas in open waters in mostly SW swell 
south of 20N, and NW to N swell north of 20N. Light SE winds and 
slight seas are noted in the Gulf of California. 

For the forecast, Tropical Depression Ten-E will move to 18.5N 
113.6W this evening, become a remnant low and move to 18.5N 
114.2W Mon morning, 18.3N 114.8W Mon evening, 18.1N 115.3W Tue 
morning, 18.0N 116.0W Tue evening, and 18.0N 117.0W Wed morning. 
Ten-E will dissipate early Thu. Light to gentle variable winds 
and slight to moderate seas are expected elsewhere.

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

A cluster of showers and thunderstorms prevails west of Costa 
Rica as a tropical wave interacts with the monsoon trough in the
area. Fresh winds and seas to 6 ft are expected within this 
convective activity. Light to gentle breezes persist north of 
05N, with 3 to 5 ft seas. Gentle to moderate SW winds and 4 to 6 
ft seas in SW swell are noted south of 05N. 

For the forecast, moderate SW winds will prevail across the 
offshore waters between Ecuador and the Galapagos Island through 
the forecast period. Seas will build in SW swell in this region 
tonight and then will continue to spread northward towards the 
Central America offshore waters south of 05N through the week. 
Light to gentle variable winds and moderate seas will prevail 
across the northern Central America offshore waters through mid- 
week. 

REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

Refer to the Special Features section above for details on T.D. 
Ten-E.

Elsewhere, a broad surface ridge dominates the waters north of 
the monsoon trough and west of 115W. Moderate to fresh NE to E 
winds are north of 20N and west of 130W, and between the monsoon
trough and 20N west of 120W where seas are 5-7 ft. Mainly gentle
winds are elsewhere N of the monsoon trough between 110W and 
120W. Moderate S to SW winds are S of the monsoon trough with 
seas to 6 ft.

For the forecast, aside from T.D. Ten-E, no major changes are 
expected elsewhere through the middle of next week.
