Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
231 AM PDT Fri May 17 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will dominate the offshore forecast waters 
of Baja California producing moderate to locally fresh NW to N 
winds and moderate seas through the upcoming weekend. In the Gulf
of California, expect gentle to locally moderate southerly winds
and seas of 1 to 3 ft, with the exception of 3 to 5 ft near the 
entrance to the Gulf. These marine conditions will persist 
through Sun. Light to gentle winds are expected across the 
remainder of the Mexican offshore waters through Sun with 
moderate seas in long period SW swell. Looking ahead, a broad 
area of low pressure is forecast to form several hundred miles to
the south of southern Mexico during the next day or two. Some 
gradual development of this system is possible thereafter as it 
moves slowly to the west or west-northwest, remaining south of 
the coast of Mexico by the middle portion of next week.
