The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0100 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Gulf of Tehuantepec Gale Warning: The local pressure gradient induced by broad high pressure across the Gulf of America will maintain fresh to near gale force N to NE gap winds across the Gulf of Tehuantepec through Mon, with gale-force winds occurring tonight through Sun morning, and then returning briefly Sun night. Seas will become rough to very rough during this period of gale-force winds, peaking around 15 ft by early Sun. Please read the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the National Hurricane Center at website - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFEP2.shtml for more details. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... A surface trough extends from 09N79W to 03N110W. The ITCZ continues from 05.5N115W to 07N127W to beyond 05.5N140W. Second ITCZ along 03.4S between 92W and 108W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is noted S of 02S between 104W and 114W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Please see SPECIAL FEATURES above for more on a Gulf of Tehuantepec gale-force gap wind event. Other than the gale-force gap wind event in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, moderate to fresh NW winds are offshore Baja California Norte. Moderate winds extend from near Cabo San Lucas to near Cabo Corrientes. Light to gentle winds dominate the remainder of the waters. Seas are moderate offshore Baja California, and slight to moderate elsewhere. For the forecast, aside from the Gulf of Tehuantepec gale-force gap wind event, broad low pressure is expected to persist across Baja California and the adjacent offshore waters through the early part of the week. Gentle to moderate winds will prevail across the majority of the waters through Wed. The pressure gradient will tighten thereafter with winds offshore Baja California increasing to maturate to fresh. Slight to moderate seas will prevail through much of next week. ....OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Fresh to strong NE-E winds prevail over the Papagayo region, and extend southwestward to near 88W, where seas are 5-7 ft. In the Gulf of Panama, moderate to fresh N-NE winds prevail. Seas are light to gentle elsewhere. Seas are slight offshore Colombia to the Gulf of Panama, and moderate elsewhere. For the forecast, fresh to strong NE-E winds will pulse in the Gulf of Papagayo downwind to near 92W through early Wed, then moderate to fresh thereafter. In the Gulf of Panama, N-NE winds will pulse through early Tue, building seas locally to rough at times. Rough to very rough seas will spread offshore Guatemala later tonight through Sun night due to a Gulf of Tehuantepec gale-force gap wind event. Slight to moderate seas will prevail otherwise through Tue night. Large SW swell will spread to the waters from offshore Ecuador to the Galapagos Islands building seas to 8-9 ft early Wed through Thu night. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA... Gentle to moderate winds dominate the open waters under a relatively weak pressure gradient. Fresh to strong NE winds extending from a gale-force Gulf of Tehuantepec gap wind event extend into the waters to near 11N101W where seas are locally to 8 ft. Moderate seas prevail across the remainder of the waters. For the forecast, gentle to moderate winds will dominate the open waters through the next several days with weak high pressure across much of the area and broad low pressure across Baja California, while a series of frontal systems remains just W of 140W. N to NE swell generated by a developing gale-force gap wind event in the Gulf of Tehuantepec will spread SW and impact the waters roughly N of 05N and E of 107W Sun through Mon. Fresh to strong winds will pulse across these waters as well extending downwind from Tehuantepec and into the trade wind zone east of 110W. Moderate seas will continue otherwise into early Sun across the open waters. Large southerly swell will move into the waters S of the Equator mid-week. Rough seas may move into the waters near 30N140W Thu in SW swell. $$ Lewitsky --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message File: T_AXPZ20KNHC290211_C_KWBC_20260329021212_49676782-84-TWDEP.txt ****0000004751**** AXPZ20 KNHC 290211 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0405 UTC Sun Mar 29 2026 Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from 03.4S to 30N, east of 120W including the Gulf of California, and from the Equator to 30N, between 120W and 140W.

In the Gulf of Panama, moderate to locally fresh N-NE winds prevail, and extend downwind to 03.5N, where seas are 3 to 6 ft in S swell. Winds are light to gentle elsewhere. Moderate seas of 4 to 6 ft prevail across the remaining waters, except 6 to 7 ft across the waters south through southeast of the Galapagos Islands in fresh S swell. For the forecast, fresh to strong NE to E winds will pulse in the Gulf of Papagayo downwind to near 92W through early Wed, then become moderate to fresh thereafter. In the Gulf of Panama, N to NE winds will continue to pulse through early Tue, building seas locally to rough at times. Rough to very rough seas in NW swell will continue to spread offshore Guatemala this afternoon through tonight due to the Gulf of Tehuantepec gale event. Slight to moderate seas will prevail otherwise through Tue night. Large SW swell will spread to the waters from offshore Ecuador to the Galapagos Islands Wed and build seas to 8-9 ft Thu. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA... Complex low pressure remains centered NW of the local area, and extends a weak cold front across the far NW waters along 137W. 1020 mb high pressure is centered E of this front near 33N132W. The associated weak ridge to the south is yielding gentle to moderate winds across the open waters, except locally fresh from 03N to 13N and W of 110W per recent ASCAT scatterometer data. Fresh to strong NE to winds extend from a strong Gulf of Tehuantepec gap wind event, beyond 100W, into the waters near 11N101W where seas are 6 to 8 ft. Moderate seas of 4 to 7 ft in mixed swell prevail across the remainder of the waters. For the forecast, gentle to moderate winds will dominate the open waters through the next several days, with weak high pressure across much of the area and broad low pressure across Baja California. A series of weak frontal boundaries will move into the NW waters and weaken W of 130W throughout the week. N to NE swell generated by a gale- force gap wind event in the Gulf of Tehuantepec will spread SW and impact the waters roughly N of 05N and E of 107W through Mon evening. Fresh to strong winds will pulse across these waters as well extending downwind from Tehuantepec and into the trade wind zone east of 110W. Moderate seas will continue otherwise through the early part of the week. Large southerly swell will move into the waters S of the Equator mid- week and reach 10N by Thu. $$ Stripling ########################### END OF MESSAGE SET ############################
