Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
120 AM PDT Tue Jul 7 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Ridging will persist off Baja California through mid
week, with lower pressure inland over northwest Mexico. This
pattern will support fresh to occasionally strong NW winds off
Baja California Norte through Wed night, with rough seas in NW
swell near Guadalupe Island. These winds will diminish Thu, as
low pressure moves off the Pacific into the lower Colorado River
Valley. This will result in fresh to strong S winds and rough
seas late Thu into Fri over the northern Gulf of California.
Looking ahead, lowering pressure across the tropical eastern
Pacific will induce moderate to fresh N gap winds and
occasionally rough seas across the Gulf of Tehuantepec later in
the week.
