Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America,
Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
150 AM PDT Tue Jun 2 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A weak pressure pattern will provide for generally
light to gentle winds through the period, except for a pulse of 
moderate to fresh gap winds in the Papagayo region tonight and 
Wed night. Long period SW swell is forecast to enter the 
southern Galapagos adjacent waters tonight, then begin to subside
Thu afternoon. Looking ahead, an area of low pressure is likely 
to form offshore of Central America and southern Mexico late this
week or over the weekend. Environmental conditions appear 
favorable for some development of this system thereafter, and a 
tropical depression could form by early next week while it moves 
westward to northwestward.
