HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE OFFSHORE FORECAST WATERS OF BAJA
CALIFORNIA PRODUCING LIGHT TO GENTLE N WINDS WITH SEAS OF 4 TO 6
FT IN NW SWELL. SIMILAR WINDS, WITH SLIGHT SEAS, PREVAIL OVER TEH
GULF OF CALIFORNIA. A SURFACE TROUGH IN THE VICINITY OF THE
REVILLAGIGEDO ISLANDS ALONG 111W IS CAUSING SCATTERED MODERATE
CONVECTION NEAR THESE ISLANDS, EXTENDING EAST TO OFFSHORE
MICHOACAN AND GUERRERO. FOR THE REMAINING WATERS OUTSIDE OF THE
TEHUANTEPEC REGION, LIGHT TO GENTLE WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS IN NW
SWELL PREVAIL.
FOR THE FORECAST, IN THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA, MAINLY GENTLE TO
MODERATE NW WINDS ARE EXPECTED WITH SEAS 3 FT OR LESS. ELSEWHERE,
GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS WILL PREVAIL
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD.
