Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
205 AM PDT Wed Mar 12 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong south to southwest winds in the
northern Gulf of California will diminish to fresh speeds this
afternoon as low pressure of 1010 near 32N118W drifts eastward.
Fresh to near gale south to southwest winds will materialize in
the northern Gulf of California tonight through Thu night as
next cold front approaches. Seas to 12 ft west of Baja
California Norte will subside below 12 ft this morning. Rough
seas will propagate southeastward through the waters offshore of
Baja California though this evening. The next cold front is
expected to approach Baja California on Thu, producing fresh to
strong west to northwest winds offshore of the peninsula and
through the Gulf of California Thu and Fri. Long-period northwest
swell will reestablish rough seas offshore of Baja Thu through
Sat night. Elsewhere, pulsing fresh to locally strong northwest
to north winds are expected offshore of southwest Mexico Thu
night through Sat as the pressure gradient tightens between the
approaching cold front and high pressure over Mexico.
