A RIDGE, ANCHORED BY A 1022 MB HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED NEAR 29N123W,
DOMINATES THE OFFSHORE WATERS OF BAJA CALIFORNIA. THIS PATTERN
IS PROMOTING LIGHT TO GENTLE WINDS ACROSS THE BAJA CALIFORNIA
OFFSHORE WATERS WHERE SEAS ARE 5 TO 8 FT IN NW SWELL, HIGHEST N
OF PUNTA EUGENIA. ELSEWHERE, THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN
THE RIDGE AND A TROUGH IN NORTHWESTERN MEXICO IS SUPPORTING FRESH
TO LOCALLY STRONG NW WINDS IN THE CENTRAL GULF OF CALIFORNIA.
SEAS ARE 4 TO 6 FT ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PART OF THE
GULF WHILE SEAS OF 2 TO 4 FT AREA NOTED OVER THE NORTHERN GULF.
LIGHT TO GENTLE WINDS AND SEAS OF 3 TO 5 FT IN MIXED SWELL
DOMINATE THE REMAINDER OF THE MEXICAN OFFSHORE WATERS. SCATTEROMETER
DATA SHOW A WEAK CYCLONIC CIRCULATION WITHIN ABOUT 120 NM SW OF
THE COAST OF GUERRERO ASSOCIATED WITH A 1012 MB WEAK LOW PRESSURE
CENTER LOCATED THERE.
FOR THE FORECAST, GALE FORCE WINDS AND ROUGH TO VERY ROUGH SEAS
WILL PERSIST IN THE TEHUANTEPEC AREA THROUGH SAT MORNING. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL OF THE WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS
THE WATERS W OF THE BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA THROUGH THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND SUPPORTING GENTLE TO MODERATE NW WINDS. THE NW
SWELL AFFECTING THE WATERS N OF PUNTA EUGENIA THIS AFTERNOON
WILL REACH THE OUTER OFFSHORE WATERS N OF CABO SAN LAZARO BY FRI
MORNING. THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN SOME BY SUN AS ANOTHER
COLD FRONT ENTERS THE NORTHERN FORECAST WATERS.
