Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
814 PM PDT Sat May 18 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge over the waters west of the Baja 
California peninsula along with lower pressures over Mexico will 
continue to support moderate to fresh NW to N winds over the 
offshore waters of Baja Peninsula today, increasing to locally 
strong speeds between Cabo San Lucas and Punta Eugenia tonight 
through Mon night. Large NW swell is forecast to impact the outer
waters of Baja California Norte beginning on Mon. Seas of 8 to 9

Disorganized showers located a couple hundred miles to the south 
of the coast of southern Mexico have diminished. Environmental 
conditions in the area have become unfavorable, and development 
of this system is not expected.
