Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
635 PM PST Sun Dec 22 2024

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure extending southward over eastern
Mexico will support minimal gale-force gap winds across the Gulf
of Tehuantepec through tonight. The high pressure will then
shift east and away from the region by early Mon, leading to
improving conditions across Tehuantepec through the week. 
Elsewhere, high pressure west of the area will maintain moderate 
northerly winds pulsing to fresh at times offshore of Baja 
California through Tue, then becoming fresh to strong from Cabo 
San Lazaro northward Tue night through Thu night, with gentle to
moderate winds across the remainder of the waters. Fresh to
strong winds will be in the northern Gulf of California late Tue
night through Wed as a cold front moves through the region. 
Significant NW swell will continue to spread southeastward to 
impact most waters through the week. Peak seas of 15 ft or higher
offshore of north and central Baja California are expected this 
afternoon and tonight, peaking across south and central Baja 
offshore waters Mon and Tue.
