.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge will continue to dominate the
offshore forecast waters of Baja California through the week.
Moderate to fresh NW to N winds over the Baja California offshore
waters will continue through Sat night. NW swell moving across
the Baja California Norte offshore waters will persist into Thu.
Winds in the Gulf of California could increase to moderate to
briefly fresh tonight as low pressure temporarily deepens over
the Colorado River Valley, then again Sat night as a dissipating
cold front moves into the region. Light to medium haze from smoke
caused by agricultural fires over Mexico could reduce
visibilities over the southern Mexico offshore waters through
Wed.
