Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
141 PM PST Sun Nov 17 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging will remain in place across the
offshore waters of Baja California through the middle of the
week. It will weaken slightly on Mon allowing for the gradient to
slacken some. Looking ahead, a new set of long-period NW swell
will reach the waters N of Punta Eugenia with seas to peak at
around 14 ft from Mon night into Tue evening, at which time the
seas from the former swell event would have subsided below 8 ft.
Afterward, NW winds along the Baja offshores will diminish to
gentle to moderate speeds and continue through Fri night. Looking
ahead, the next Gulf of Tehuantepec gap wind gale event is
forecast to start Wed evening. Gale force winds and very rough
seas are forecast from Wed night through early Sat. An elongated
area of low pressure located SW of Jalisco will continue to move
slowly eastward or east-northeastward into the early part of the
week bringing increasing shower and thunderstorm activity to the
offshore waters of Colima, Jalisco and Nayarit.
