PMZ001-281000- 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. $$ PMZ009-281000- Mexico Border S to 30N within 60 nm of shore- 247 PM PDT Thu Mar 27 2025 .TONIGHT...NW winds 15 to 20 kt.
