Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
140 AM PDT Wed Mar 26 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A broad surface ridge extends southeastward from a
1021 mb high near 25N128W to the southeast of Revillagigedo 
Islands. This feature will sustain gentle to moderate NW to N 
winds west of Baja California until tonight. Fresh to strong gap
winds at the Gulf of Tehuantepec will become strong to near- 
gale force briefly early this morning before subsiding tonight. 
Residual NW swell is going to maintain moderate seas off Baja 
California and near the Revillagigedo Islands through Fri. 
Looking ahead, a new high pressure will build in the wake of a 
cold front. As a result, winds will increase to moderate to fresh
speeds with locally strong winds Thu and through the weekend 
west of Baja California. Additionally, a new set of large NW 
swell related to the aforementioned cold front is expected to 
cause very rough seas in the same area by Fri.
