WARNINGS
.NONE.
FOR THE FORECAST, THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE
NW OF THE AREA AND LOW PRESSURE OVER THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY
WILL SUPPORT MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY FRESH WINDS OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF OF CALIFORNIA THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK.
ELSEWHERE, A MODERATE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL SUPPORT MOSTLY
GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS ACROSS THE OFFSHORE WATERS OF MEXICO.
LONG-PERIOD NW SWELL OVER THE WATERS OFF BAJA CALIFORNIA NORTE
WILL START TO SUBSIDE TUE. FRESH TO STRONG GAP WINDS AND BUILDING
SEAS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC TOWARD THE END
OF THE WEEK.
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IN THE NE PACIFIC IS CENTERED OFF THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST OF THE UNITED STATES, ALLOWING FOR A RIDGE TO
EXTEND SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE REVILLAGIGEDO ISLANDS. THE WEAK RIDGE
SUPPORTS MAINLY MODERATE OR WEAKER WINDS AND SLIGHT TO MODERATE
SEAS ACROSS MUCH OF THE MEXICAN OFFSHORE WATERS, INCLUDING THE
GULFS OF CALIFORNIA AND TEHUANTEPEC. A SUBSIDING NORTHERLY SWELL
WELL WEST OF BAJA CALIFORNIA NORTE STILL PRODUCES SEAS TO 8 FT
TO THE NORTHWEST OF GUADALUPE ISLAND. A FEW SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOTED OFF SOUTHERN AND SW MEXICO. GUSTY WINDS
AND SUDDENLY HIGHER SEAS ARE POSSIBLE NEAR THE STRONGER STORMS.
FOR THE FORECAST, SUBSIDING NORTHERLY SWELL WILL BRING ROUGH
SEAS OVER THE WATERS OFF BAJA CALIFORNIA NORTE NORTH OF 27N AND
EAST OF 130W THROUGH TUE. SOUTHERLY SWELL WILL BUILD NORTHWARD TO
03N AND WEST OF 105W STARTING TUE NIGHT. MEANWHILE, SEAS MAY BUILD
TO 8 FT IN THE WESTERN TRADE WATERS LATE THIS WEEK.
