Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
PMZ001
1258 AM PDT Fri May 15 2026
Fresh to strong northerly gap winds and rough seas will persist at the Gulf of Tehuantepec through this morning. Moderate to fresh southwest to west gap winds in the northern Gulf of California are expected to pulse to strong at night this weekend. Moderate to fresh northwest winds over the offshore waters of Baja California will continue through Sun night, except increase to fresh to strong speeds west of Baja California Norte along with very rough seas expected to peak to 13 ft in large northwest swell tonight through Sun night due to a quick tightening of the pressure gradient related to a broad and strong area of high pressure northwest of the area that will be shifting eastward. This swell should propagate southward leading to moderate to rough seas west and southwest of Baja California Sur early next week.
