Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
112 AM PST Fri Jan 10 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Strong N gap winds will redevelop late tonight in
the Gulf of Tehuantepec and quickly strengthen to gale force
overnight, and continue into Sat evening before winds rapidly
diminish into Sun. Rough seas will accompany the winds, with
peak seas near 13 ft. Elsewhere, pulsing fresh to strong NW to
NE winds will occur offshore of Baja California and through the
Gulf of California through Sat. Locally fresh N winds will
expand farther south to offshore of southwestern Mexico this
morning through early Sat. Rough seas currently offshore of Baja
will slowly subside into Sat. A new long-period N swell
associated with a cold front moving through Southern California
will push into the Baja California Norte waters Sat into early
next week, producing rough to locally very rough seas. Slight to
moderate seas will prevail elsewhere. Looking ahead, a more
prolonged gap wind event is expected in the Gulf of Tehuantepec
next week, with fresh to strong N winds returning Mon morning,
reaching gale-force Mon evening, then continuing through the
middle of next week. Very rough seas are likely with these winds.
