Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average

more than twice the significant wave height.

Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure off the SE United States combined
with surface troughing over Mexico will continue to force 
moderate to fresh SE to S return flow over the Gulf of Mexico 
through Fri. The diurnal trough forming over the Yucatan will 
promote strong E winds over the SW Gulf tonight and Thu night.
Agricultural and seasonal fires over Mexico and Central America
result in smoke and haze over the the SW Gulf and the Bay
Campeche. Mariners may experience reduced visibility in these
waters. Winds will diminish across the Gulf Fri ahead of a cold 
front that is expected to enter the NW Gulf Fri night. N to NE 
winds behind the front should be moderate to fresh on Sat. By Sun
morning, the dissipating front will extend from SW Florida to 
near the Texas- Mexico border. Looking ahead, as a surface ridge 
builds to the north of the Gulf, fresh to strong E to SE to E 
winds are expected on Sun and Mon over most of the Gulf.
