**SEA OF CORTEZ FORECAST**
A BROAD SURFACE RIDGE EXTENDS INTO THE REGION TO JUST NW OF THE
REVILLAGIGEDO ISLANDS. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE RIDGE
AND A SURFACE TROUGH ALONG THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA IS PRODUCING
MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH NW TO N WINDS ACROSS BOTH THE BAJA
NORTE AND SUR PENINSULA OFFSHORE WATERS. LONG-PERIOD NW SWELL
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT MODERATE TO ROUGH SEAS OVER THESE WATERS.
INSIDE THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA, WINDS ARE GENTLE TO MODERATE FROM
THE NW AND WAVE HEIGHTS ARE 1 TO 3 FT. LIGHT TO GENTLE VARIABLE
WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS IN SW SWELL ARE ELSEWHERE.
FOR THE FORECAST, NE PACIFIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN A RIDGE
ACROSS THE REGIONAL WATERS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK,
WHICH WILL MAINTAIN MODERATE TO FRESH NW WINDS ACROSS THE BAJA
CALIFORNIA OFFSHORE WATERS. NW SWELL MOVING THROUGH THE BAJA
CALIFORNIA OFFSHORE WATERS WILL MERGE WITH SW SWELL ACROSS THE
SW MEXICAN OFFSHORES TODAY THROUGH SUN. NEW N SWELL WILL THEN
ENTER THE BAJA CALIFORNIA NORTE WATERS ON SUN AND SUBSIDE EARLY
TUE.
FOR THE FORECAST, LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED IN WINDS FOR THE
NEXT FEW DAYS. THE CURRENT NW TO N SWELL WILL COMBINE WITH WIND
GENERATED WAVES PRODUCED BY THE FRESH TRADE WINDS N OF THE
MONSOON/ITCZ LEADING TO ROUGH SEAS OVER THE WATERS W OF 120W
THROUGH TODAY. E OF 120W, NW TO N SWELL WILL MERGE WITH
SOUTHERLY SWELL OVER THE CENTRAL WATERS DURING THE WEEKEND, WITH
WAVE HEIGHTS OF 8 TO 9 FT FORECAST TO COVER A GOOD PORTION OF THE
WATERS S THROUGH SW OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA TO
THE EQUATOR E OF 120W, AND WESTWARD TO NEAR 140W.
LOOKING AHEAD, THE LATEST TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK ISSUED BY NHC
MENTIONS THAT A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO FORM
EARLY NEXT WEEK WELL TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF THE
BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR
CONDUCIVE FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT THEREAFTER, AND A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION IS LIKELY TO FORM DURING THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK
WHILE MOVING WESTWARD OR WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 KT
ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE EAST PACIFIC.

THE MONSOON TROUGH AXIS EXTENDS FROM 10N85W TO 11N108W TO
10N126W TO 05N135W. THE ITCZ BEGINS NEAR 05N135W AND CONTINUES
BEYOND 06N140W. SCATTERED MODERATE ISOLATED STRONG FROM 01N TO
10N BETWEEN 77W AND 89W...AND FROM 03N TO 13N BETWEEN 110W AND
130W. SCATTERED MODERATE FROM 01N TO 09N W OF 130W.
THE MONSOON TROUGH AXIS EXTENDS FROM 10N85W TO 11N108W TO
10N126W TO 05N135W. THE ITCZ BEGINS NEAR 05N135W AND CONTINUES
BEYOND 06N140W. SCATTERED MODERATE ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION IS
FROM 01N TO 10N BETWEEN 77W AND 89W, AND FROM 03N TO 13N BETWEEN
110W AND 130W. SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION IS ALSO FROM 01N TO
09N W OF 130W.
HIGH PRESSURE COVERS THE WATERS NORTH OF 19N AND WEST OF 110W,
CENTERED ON STRONG HIGH PRESSURE NE OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE HIGH PRESSURE AND LOWER PRESSURE
WITHIN THE MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ IS SUPPORTING MODERATE TO FRESH NE
TO E WINDS N OF THE ITCZ TO NEAR 22N AND WEST OF ABOUT 118W.
SEAS OVER THESE WATERS ARE IN THE 7 TO 10 FT RANGE IN A MIX OF
TRADE WIND SWELL AND NW TO N SWELL. GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS ARE
ELSEWHERE N OF THE MONSOON TROUGH E OF 110W, AS WELL AS S OF THE
TROUGH. SEAS ACROSS THE WATERS S OF THE TROUGH AND ITCZ ARE
GENERALLY 6 TO 8 FT IN BUILDING S TO SW SWELL.
FOR THE FORECAST, LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED IN WINDS FOR THE
NEXT FEW DAYS. THE CURRENT NW TO N SWELL WILL COMBINE WITH WIND
GENERATED WAVES PRODUCED BY THE FRESH TRADE WINDS N OF THE
MONSOON/ITCZ LEADING TO ROUGH SEAS OVER THE WATERS W OF 120W
THROUGH TODAY. E OF 120W, NW TO N SWELL WILL MERGE WITH
SOUTHERLY SWELL OVER THE CENTRAL WATERS DURING THE WEEKEND, WITH
WAVE HEIGHTS OF 8 TO 9 FT FORECAST TO COVER A GOOD PORTION OF THE
WATERS S THROUGH SW OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA TO
THE EQUATOR E OF 120W, AND WESTWARD TO NEAR 140W.
...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...
FOR THE FORECAST, A WEAK PRESSURE PATTERN ACROSS THE REGION WILL
RESULT IN LIGHT TO GENTLE WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD, WITH
NOCTURNAL PULSES OF MODERATE TO FRESH GAP WINDS ACROSS THE
PAPAGAYO REGION. LARGE SW SWELL WILL MAINTAIN ROUGH SEAS ACROSS
THE WATERS BETWEEN THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS AND COLOMBIA THROUGH SUN
BEFORE SUBSIDING. OTHERWISE, MODERATE SEAS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS
THE FORECAST WATERS INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. EXPECT
CONVECTION TO REMAIN ACTIVE ACROSS THE AREA WATERS DURING THE
WEEKEND.
