274 FZPN27 KNHC 130329 OFFPZ7 Offshore Waters Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 729 PM PST Thu Dec 12 2024 Offshore Waters Forecast for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. PMZ001-131530- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 729 PM PST Thu Dec 12 2024 .SYNOPSIS...The most significant gap wind event thus far of the season has peaked in magnitude across the Gulf of Tehuantepec today. Strong high pressure centered across the northeastern Gulf of Mexico is drifting slowly NE this evening, with its broad ridge continuing southward behind a stalling front stretching from central Cuba through northern Honduras and central Guatemala. This pattern will continue to support gale-force N winds from the Tehuantepec coast to near 14.5N overnight, with strong to gale-force winds extending near 300 NM offshore of the coast. Winds and seas will subside very slowly tonight, with gales expected to end Fri morning. Strong to near-gale force winds will then continue Fri afternoon through Mon morning as strong high pressure persists across the Gulf of Mexico and the NW Caribbean. Elsewhere, a weakening cold front approaching Baja Norte from the northwest will produce moderate to locally fresh NW winds and building seas across the offshore waters north of Punta Eugenia tonight through Fri morning, as the front enters the area and dissipates. High pressure will build modestly across the area waters late Fri through this weekend in the wake of the cold front, accompanied by moderate NW swell. As a result, moderate to locally fresh NW to N winds will develop in the Gulf of California and off the coast of southwestern Mexico by early Sat, and across the waters offshore of Baja California Sat afternoon into early Sun. Fresh NW swell will enter the Baja Norte waters Sat night and spread southeastward into early next week. $$ PMZ009-131530- Mexico Border S to 30N within 60 nm of shore- 729 PM PST Thu Dec 12 2024 .TONIGHT...NW winds 10 to 15 kt.
