The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0200 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The axis of a tropical wave is near 94W north of 02N, moving westward at about 10 kt. Nearby convection is noted in the ITCZ/monsoon trough section below. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 11N86W to 10N107W to 08N130W to 09N140W. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is noted from 03N to 09N between 85W and 95W, and from 03N to 13N between 106W and 140W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... A dissipating stationary front extends across Baja California Norte to near 25N122W. Gentle to moderate winds prevail west of Baja California and southward to near the Revillagigedo Islands. Gentle to moderate winds are over the northern Gulf of California. Light to gentle winds prevail elsewhere. Seas are in the 8-11 ft range off Baja California Norte, and 5-6 ft off Baja California Sur southward to near the Revillagigedo Islands. Elsewhere, seas are in the 4-5 ft range over the remainder of the open waters off Mexico, and 2-3 ft over the Gulf of California. For the forecast, moderate to fresh winds will prevail offshore Baja California through the period. NW swell over the waters off Baja California Norte will propagate southward offshore Baja California through Thu before decaying. Another set of NW swell will enter the waters N Punta Eugenia on Sun. This swell will spread south to cover the waters off Baja California by Mon before starting to subside. Fresh to strong S to SW gap winds will pulse in the northern Gulf of California tonight. ....OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Gentle to moderate winds prevail between the Galapagos Islands and Colombia. Light to gentle winds are noted elsewhere. Seas are in the 4-5 ft range across the discussion waters. For the forecast, a weak pressure pattern will result in light to gentle winds through the period. Large SW swell will enter the waters south of the Equator Fri, bringing rough seas to the waters between the Galapagos Islands and Colombia through early Sun before starting to subside. Otherwise, light to moderate seas will prevail across the forecast waters into early next week. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA... High pressure covers the waters north of 20N. The pressure gradient between this area of high pressure and lower pressure within the monsoon trough is supporting moderate to fresh NE trades north of the monsoon trough to near 20N and west of about 120W. Wave heights over these waters are in the 6 to 9 ft range in a mix of tradewind swell and long-period NW to N swell. Moderate to fresh winds and seas of 7 to 11 ft in long- period northwest swell are north of 25N. Gentle to moderate winds are elsewhere N of the monsoon trough and also to its south. Wave heights over these waters are in the 5 to 7 ft range. For the forecast, little change is expected in winds for the next few days. NW to N swell N of 25N will spread southward, with wave heights of 8 to 9 ft reaching as far south as about 15N by Thu evening. The combination of the swell with wind generated waves produced by the fresh trade winds N of the monsoon trough is expected to generate rough seas over a good portion of these waters going into Fri. Afterward, the eastern portion of the remaining swell set will merge with a southerly swell set over the central waters during the weekend, with wave heights of 8 to 9 ft covering the area from just S of the southern tip of Baja California to near 03.4S between 98W and 120W, and from 07N to 18N between 120W and 140W. $$ AL ########################### END OF MESSAGE SET ############################
