Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
PMZ001
732 PM PST Fri Mar 6 2026
A ridge will continue to dominate the offshore forecast waters of Baja California through Sat morning supporting gentle to moderate NW to N winds. A broad area of low pressure is expected to form just offshore Baja California Norte on Sat, then shift slowly eastward into early next week while dissipating. The tightening pressure gradient between the low center and the ridge to the W will promote fresh to locally strong W to NW winds and building seas to around 8 ft across the outer forecast waters N of Punta Eugenia on Sun. Gentle winds along with moderate seas in SW swell are expected in the Gulf of Tehuantepec through the forecast period.
