THE PRESSURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING OVER THE GULF
OF AMERICA AND RELATIVELY LOWER PRESSURE IN SOUTHEASTERN MEXICO,
SOUTHWARD TO THE MONSOON TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC IS
SUPPORTING FRESH TO STRONG GAP WINDS IN THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC.
SEAS UP TO 8 FT PREVAIL WITH THESE WINDS. IN THE GULF OF
CALIFORNIA, MODERATE TO FRESH SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE OVER THE
NORTHERN PORTION FROM 30N TO 31N ALONG WITH SEAS OF 2 TO 4 FT.
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS SLIGHTLY TIGHTER OVER THAT PORTION OF
THE GULF DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF THE DIURNAL TROUGH. SEAS OVER
THE REST OF THE GULF ARE ALSO 3 TO 4 FT, EXCEPT AT THE ENTRANCE,
WHERE HIGHER SEAS OF 4 TO 6 FT IN LONG-PERIOD SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
SWELL ARE PRESENT. LATEST SCATTEROMETER SATELLITE DATA PASSES
GENERALLY REVEAL LIGHT TO GENTLE WINDS ARE ELSEWHERE OVER THE
MEXICAN OFFSHORE WATERS ALONG WITH SEAS OF 4 TO 6 FT IN LONG-
PERIOD SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST SWELL.
FOR THE FORECAST, THE FRESH TO STRONG NORTH TO NORTHEAST GAP
WINDS WILL CONTINUE PULSING IN THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC REGION
THROUGH LATE MON MORNING, THESE WINDS WILL BEGIN TO PULSE AGAIN
AT FRESH TO STRONG SPEEDS NIGHTLY STARTING MON NIGHT. ELSEWHERE,
WINDS AND SEAS ACROSS THE MEXICAN OFFSHORE WATERS ARE EXPECTED
TO REMAIN RATHER CALM INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK. NORTHWEST
SWELL WITH SEAS TO 8 FT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE FAR NORTHERN
WATERS OFF BAJA CALIFORNIA NORTE BEGINNING TONIGHT, AND LINGER
INTO MIDWEEK.
