...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...
HIGH PRESSURE NORTH OF THE AREA IS FORCING FRESH TO LOCALLY
STRONG NE-E WINDS ACROSS THE GULF OF PAPAGAYO, SPREADING
DOWNSTREAM TO 89W. SEAS IN THESE WATERS ARE 4-6 FT. MEANWHILE,
GENTLE TO MODERATE SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS AND SEAS OF 3-6 FT ARE

GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC STORM WARNING: STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL SUPPORT STRONG GALES ACROSS
THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC THIS AFTERNOON, INCREASING TO STORM
FORCE GAP WINDS BY THIS EVENING. SEAS ARE ALREADY ROUGH TO VERY
ROUGH ACROSS THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC AND WELL DOWNSTREAM, BUT
WILL BUILD TO AT LEAST 23 FT BY WED MORNING, WITH A PLUME OF
ROUGH TO VERY ROUGH SEAS REACHING UP TO 500 NM TO THE SOUTH AND
SOUTHWEST OF THE GULF. LOOKING AHEAD, THESE WINDS AND SEAS WILL
DIMINISH SLIGHTLY THROUGH THU, BUT GAP WINDS TO GALE FORCE MAY
PERSIST INTO SAT NIGHT WITH ROUGH SEAS PERSISTING LONGER.
THE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT BASIN THAT IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GALE FORCE WINDS ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF OF
CALIFORNIA IS ALSO SUPPORTING FRESH NE GAP WINDS OVER LOW SPOTS
ALONG THE BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA. COMBINED SEAS OFF BAJA
CALIFORNIA NORTE ARE LIKELY AS HIGH AS 8 FT, DUE TO THE GAP
WINDS AND NW SWELL ENTERING THE AREA.
FOR THE FORECAST, STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO NE MEXICO
WILL SUPPORT GALES ACROSS THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC EVOLVING INTO
STORM-FORCE GAP WINDS THIS EVENING. SEAS BY WED WILL INCREASE TO
23 FT OR HIGHER, WITH SEAS IN EXCESS OF 12 FT EXTENDING OVER 500
NM S AND SW OF THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC. AS THE HIGH PRESSURE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STORM-FORCE WINDS SLIDES TO THE EAST,
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE SLIGHTLY INTO THU. HOWEVER, GALE FORCE
WINDS WILL LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH SAT NIGHT. ROUGH SEAS MAY
PREVAIL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. TO THE NORTH, HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
INTO THE SW UNITED STATES IS SUPPORTING GALES OVER THE NORTHERN
GULF OF CALIFORNIA THIS AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH GALES WILL END BY
THIS EVENING AS THE HIGH WEAKENS SLIGHTLY, FRESH TO STRONG NW
WINDS WILL CONTINUE IN THE GULF THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. IN
ADDITION, PLUMES OF STRONG NE GAP WINDS WILL FUNNEL ACROSS THE
BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA AND INTO OFFSHORE PACIFIC WATERS MAINLY
N OF PUNTA EUGENIA THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
FOR THE FORECAST, THE FRESH TO STRONG SE WINDS BETWEEN THE
THE LOW PRESSURE NORTHEAST OF HAWAII AND THE RIDGE TO THE
NORTHEAST WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE WATERS NORTH OF 20N AND
WEST OF 130W THROUGH THU. LARGE NW SWELL WILL CONTINUE TO
PROPAGATE INTO THE WATERS WEST OF 125W, AND MIX WITH SHORTER
PERIOD SEAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRADE WIND FLOW OVER THE DEEP
TROPICS. ALTOGETHER, EXPECT 8 TO 11 FT SEAS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA WEST OF 125W THROUGH TONIGHT. THESE WAVE HEIGHTS WILL
SUBSIDE TO 8 TO 9 FT AND DIMINISH IN AREAL EXTENT MID TO LATE
WEEK. MODERATE WINDS AND SEAS WILL PERSIST ELSEWHERE. BY LATE
WEEK, FRESH TO STRONG NE-E WINDS AND MODERATE TO ROUGH SEAS WILL
REACH AS FAR WEST AS 100W ALONG ROUGHLY 10N FROM STORM-FORCE GAP
WINDS IN THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC.
