PMZ001-152030- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 120 AM PDT Wed Apr 15 2026 .SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh NW winds will prevail across the waters on both sides of the Baja California Peninsula tonight as high pressure builds in from the North Pacific. This ridging will then dominate the waters through the week and maintain generally moderate winds. New NW swell will propagate into Baja waters late Thu and produce rough seas across the outer waters of Baja Norte into early Sat. Between Baja Sur and Puerto Angel, winds will be moderate or weaker with moderate seas through Fri. Fresh northerly gap winds are expected across the Tehuantepec through this morning before winds there become variable throughout the remainder of the week. Looking ahead, high pressure will weaken across the region Sat leading to diminishing winds and seas through the weekend. $$ PMZ009-152030- Mexico Border S to 30N within 60 nm of shore- 120 AM PDT Wed Apr 15 2026 .TODAY...NW winds 10 to 15 kt.
