Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
913 AM PDT Wed Jul 28 2021

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure north of the area and lower pressure
farther south will support pulse of gap winds across the Gulf of
Tehuantepec through Fri, mainly at night. Building high pressure
west of the region will support moderate to fresh NW winds off
Baja California Norte through late week. Looking ahead, seas will
build off southern Mexico starting late Sat due to increased
southerly swell.
