Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
306 PM PDT Tue Jul 15 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Pulsing moderate to fresh N gap winds will occur in
the Gulf of Tehuantepec through Fri as high pressure builds over
central Mexico. Winds will reach fresh to strong speeds Fri night
into the weekend as the pressure gradient tightens further,
resulting in building seas to 8 ft. Farther south, moderate E
winds, generated by gap winds in the Gulf of Papagayo, will occur
well offshore of southern Mexico through midweek, then returning
this weekend. Moderate to fresh S to SE winds will continue over
the northern Gulf of California through Wed as a low pressure
approaches from the northwest. Moderate seas will prevail
elsewhere, except slight in the Gulf of California.
