Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
803 AM PDT Fri May 3 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh NW winds will persist off Baja
California Norte mainly west of Isla Guadalupe into tonight, with
gentle to moderate winds elsewhere off Baja. Accompanying large
swell well offshore will reach as far south as Cabo San Lazaro
into Sat, then subside. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds will
continue across Mexican offshore waters, along with moderate
combined seas, primarily in NW swell over open waters. Winds and
seas will diminish off Baja California this weekend as the high
pressure NW of the area weakens and the swell subsides. Looking
ahead, a weak cold front will move into Baja California Norte
offshore waters by late Sun, then stall and dissipate Mon. Large
NW swell may follow the front.
