Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
247 PM PDT Thu Mar 27 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to locally fresh NW winds and rough seas
will occur offshore of Baja California today. Locally strong NW
winds are expected to develop north of Cabo San Lazaro this
evening as the pressure gradient strengthens between troughing
over the Gulf of California and a cold front moving southward
along the California coast. The cold front is slated to move into
the northern waters Fri morning, and widespread fresh to strong
NW winds will occur offshore of the peninsula in the wake of the
front into early Sat. A long-period NW swell associated with the
front will promote rough seas in this region through this
weekend, with seas in excess of 8 ft expanding southeastward to
offshore of southwestern Mexico on Sat. Peak seas of 12 to 13 ft
can be expected north of Cabo San Lazaro early Fri through Sat.
Seas will diminish from northwest to southeast early next week.
Otherwise, gentle to moderate winds are expected in the Gulf of
California and offshore of southern Mexico through this weekend.
