BROAD HIGH PRESSURE ANCHORED BY A 1026 MB HIGH JUST NORTH
OF THE AREA 31N138W IS THE MAIN FEATURE DRIVING THE WEATHER
PATTERN OVER THESE WATERS. THE ASSOCIATED GRADIENT IS ALLOWING
FOR FRESH TO STRONG NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS OVER THE WATERS
WEST OF BAJA CALIFORNIA, AND FOR GENTLE TO MODERATE NORTH TO
NORTHEAST WINDS OVER THE WATERS ELSEWHERE WEST OF MEXICO,
INCLUDING NEAR THE REVILLAGIGEDO ISLANDS. A RECENT SCATTEROMETER
SATELLITE DATA PASS CAPTURED SOME OF THESE WINDS. A FEW SHIP
OBSERVATIONS IN THE AREA REPORTED SIMILAR WINDS AS WELL. SEAS
OVER THESE WATERS ARE 6 TO 8 FT IN DECAYING LONG-PERIOD NW
SWELL. LOWER SEAS OF 5 TO 7 FT IN MIX SW AND NW SWELL ARE OVER
THE WATERS BETWEEN THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC REGION AND ACAPULCO.
LIGHT TO GENTLE WINDS ARE EVIDENT AT THE NORTHERN GULF OF
CALIFORNIA, WHILE GENTLE TO MODERATE NW WINDS ARE NOTED FOR THE
REST OF THE GULF. SEAS IN THE GULF ARE 1 TO 3 FT, EXCEPT FOR
SLIGHTLY HIGHER SEAS OF 2 TO 4 FT IN THE SOUTHERN SECTION.
FOR THE FORECAST, FRESH TO STRONG NW TO N WINDS NEAR THE BAJA
CALIFORNIA COAST WILL PERSIST AND EXPAND WESTWARD THROUGH WED
EVENING BEFORE DIMINISHING TO MAINLY MODERATE ON THU. WINDS IN
THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL GULF OF CALIFORNIA ARE EXPECTED TO
INCREASE AND REACH FRESH TO STRONG TUE EVENING THROUGH WED
AFTERNOON, WHICH COULD PEAK AT NEAR-GALE FORCE AT THE NORTHERN
GULF LATE TUE NIGHT INTO EARLY ON WED. A NEW SET OF NW SWELL
PRODUCING ROUGH TO VERY ROUGH SEAS WILL PROPAGATE SOUTHWARD
THROUGH THE WATERS OFF BAJA CALIFORNIA TUE NIGHT THROUGH LATE
WED. MARINE CONDITIONS IMPROVE AFTERWARD.
