No, the opposite happens...waves or degraded tropical storms cross Mexico and are reborn in the warm waters of the Pacific. The hot waters of the Gulf of California give the storms quite a boost as they head out into the Pacific.

Ocean are large masses of waters connecting continents There are three:  The Atlantic, The Indian, and The Pacific with the Pacific being the largest. all smaller bodies of water surrounding islands, inlets, peninsulas, etc. are known as seas or gulfs depending on the site some are even called bays if their small enough.  Size does matter as the Yellow sea would be a straight if it were smaller in size.  FYI it has nothing to do with depth because the Puget sound is over 4000 ft deep and yet it isn't a sea or and ocean.
