PMZ001-230945- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 139 PM PST Wed Jan 22 2025 .SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure over NE Mexico is supporting gap winds to gale force across the Gulf of Tehuantepec as depicted by the latest ASCAT pass.

Looking ahead, expect fresh to strong SW winds across the northern Gulf of California Sat and Sat night ahead of a cold front moving through the region.
