...GALE WARNING...
.18 HOUR FORECAST WITHIN 16N94W TO 16N95W TO 15N96W TO 15N95W TO
15N94W TO 16N94W...INCLUDING THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC...NW TO N
WINDS 20 TO 30 KT. SEAS LESS THAN 2.5 M.
.24 HOUR FORECAST WITHIN 15N94W TO 16N95W TO 15N96W TO 13N96W TO
14N95W TO 14N94W TO 15N94W...INCLUDING THE GULF OF
TEHUANTEPEC...N WINDS 30 TO 40 KT. SEAS 2.5 TO 3.0 M. ELSEWHERE
WITHIN 14N93W TO 16N94W TO 15N96W TO 13N97W TO 12N97W TO 12N96W
TO 14N93W N WINDS 20 TO 30 KT. SEAS 2.5 TO 5.0 M.
.48 HOUR FORECAST WITHIN 14N94W TO 16N95W TO 15N96W TO 09N100W
TO 11N97W TO 14N94W...INCLUDING THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC...NE
WINDS 20 TO 30 KT. SEAS 2.5 TO 3.0 M. ELSEWHERE WITHIN 12N92W TO
15N94W TO 15N96W TO 13N99W TO 09N99W TO 10N93W TO 12N92W WINDS 20
KT OR LESS. SEAS 2.5 TO 3.0 M IN N TO NE SWELL.
A BROAD SURFACE RIDGE EXTENDS SE FROM A 1034 MB HIGH NW OF THE
REGION AND COVERS THE OFFSHORE WATERS OF BAJA CALIFORNIA AS WELL
AS THE SW MEXICAN OFFSHORES TO JALISCO. ACCORDING TO THE LATEST
OBSERVATIONS BASED ON SATELLITE DERIVED WINDS, MODERATE TO FRESH
NW TO N WINDS PREVAIL ACROSS THE OFFSHORE SOUTH OF PUNTA EUGENIA
AND THE SOUTHERN GULF OF CALIFORNIA, AND FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG
NW WINDS PREVAIL OFFSHORE JALISCO, MEXICO. THESE WINDS ARE DUE
TO THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE LOW PRESSURE OVER NE MEXICO
AND THE AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE. SEAS OFFSHORE JALISCO ARE AROUND 8
FT, WHILE 5 TO 7 FT SEAS PREVAIL ELSEWHERE.
FOR THE FORECAST, STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN THE GULF OF
AMERICA IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT, ALLOWING STRONG WINDS TO
FUNNEL ACROSS THE CHIVELA PASS INTO THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC THU
MORNING. THESE WINDS WILL RAPIDLY REACH NEAR GALE-FORCE SPEEDS
LATER IN THE MORNING AND ACCELERATE TO GALE SPEED EARLY IN THE
AFTERNOON. ROUGH SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TO 10 FT ON THU
MORNING, BECOMING VERY ROUGH TO 17 FT BY THU EVENING. GALES WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH FRI MORNING, THEN WINDS WILL GRADUALLY REDUCE IN
SPEED AND AREAL COVERAGE THROUGH SAT MORNING. A RIDGE WILL
CONTINUE TO BUILD TOWARDS BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR AND CABO CORRIENTES
THROUGH THU, WHILE NEW NW SWELL SPREADS ACROSS THE WATERS OF
BAJA CALIFORNIA NORTE. FRESH TO STRONG NW TO N WINDS ARE EXPECTED
BETWEEN BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR AND CABO CORRIENTES, INCLUDING LAS
TRES MARIAS, THROUGH THIS EVENING. NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS WILL
THEN FRESHEN INSIDE THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA THIS AFTERNOON,
REACHING FRESH TO STRONG SPEED THROUGH THE NIGHT. WINDS WILL
DECREASE THU MORNING AS THE RIDGE WEAKENS MODESTLY ACROSS THE
AREA.
HIGH PRESSURE OF 1034 MB REMAINS WELL NW OF THE REGION. AN
ASSOCIATED BROAD RIDGE COVERS THE WATERS N OF ABOUT 12N AND W OF
108W. THE RELATED PRESSURE GRADIENT IS SUSTAINING MODERATE TO
FRESH NE TO E WINDS FROM 02N TO 21N WEST OF 110W, EXCEPT FRESH
TO STRONG FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 116W AND 134W. ALTIMETER DATA
SHOW ROUGH SEAS IN THE 8 TO 10 FT RANGE WITHIN THESE WINDS.
NORTHWEST SWELL IS ENTERING THE HIGH SEAS WEST OF THE BAJA
CALIFORNIA NORTE OFFSHORE WATERS, THUS AFFECTING THE REGION N OF
27N BETWEEN 120W AND 134W WITH ROUGH SEAS TO 8 FT. ELSEWHERE,
WINDS ARE MODERATE OR WEAKER WITH MODERATE SEAS IN MIXED N AND S
SWELL.
FOR THE FORECAST, HIGH PRESSURE NW OF BAJA CALIFORNIA WILL EXTEND
A RIDGE SOUTH AND SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE E PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL
WATERS. THE NW SWELL W OF THE BAJA CALIFORNIA NORTE OFFSHORES IS
FORECAST TO SUBSIDE THU NIGHT. LOOKING AHEAD, NEW CROSS-EQUATORIAL
SW SWELL IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE GALAPAGOS ADJACENT WATERS
FRI LATE AFTERNOON AND SUBSIDE BY SUN EVENING.
