Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
916 AM 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 may increase there to fresh to strong Fri
night into the weekend as the pressure gradient tightens further,
resulting in building seas to rough there. 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. Fresh to strong S to SE winds will
pulse over the northern Gulf of California tonight into early Wed
and continue through midweek as low pressure deepens over the
Desert Southwest. Moderate seas will prevail elsewhere, except
slight in the Gulf of California.
