Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
508 PM PST Tue Feb 3 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong northerly winds will pulse in the
Gulf of Tehuantepec through Wed before increasing to gale- force
as high pressure builds in the wake of the next cold front N of 
the area, tightening the pressure gradient. The gale-force winds 
are forecast to start Wed night and continue through Sat evening,
potentially peaking at 40-45 kt Thu and Thu night. Rough to very
rough seas will accompany these winds. A set of NW swell will 
impact the waters west of the Baja California peninsula through 
early Wed. Another set of large NW swell will enter the waters 
off Baja California Norte the end of the week, spreading across 
the waters W of 100W during the upcoming weekend. Winds pay pulse
to moderate fresh from near the southern Gulf of California and 
Cabo San Lucas to near Cabo Corrientes at times due to a locally 
tight pressure gradient.
