Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
757 AM PDT Tue Apr 30 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh NW winds along with large NW swell
will persist off Baja California Norte mainly west of Isla
Guadalupe into Sat, with gentle to moderate winds elsewhere off
Baja. Moderate SW winds will pulse to fresh across the northern
Gulf of California Tue night, ahead of a dissipating cold front
moving into the region. Elsewhere, mostly gentle to moderate
winds will persist across Mexican offshore waters, along with
moderate combined seas primarily in NW swell over open waters.
Looking ahead, winds and seas will diminish off Baja California
by Sun as the high pressure NW of the area weakens and the swell
subsides.
