Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average

more than twice the significant wave height.

Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front extends from SE Louisiana SW to
25N97W in NE Mexico. Strong to gale-force N to NW winds follow
the front with rough seas to 9 ft, but rapidly building. The
front will reach from Cedar Key, FL to Merida, Mexico in the NW
Yucatan peninsula this evening, and exit the basin Mon morning.
Strong to gale force winds are expected behind the front across
the western Gulf, from offshore Texas southward to the Bay of
Campeche through this evening. Minimal storm force NW winds are
expected offshore of the Veracruz area this afternoon. Seas are
forecast to build to 14 to 16 ft with the strongest winds. In
the eastern and central Gulf, strong to near-gale force winds
will follow the front. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to
accompany the front as it moves across the Gulf of Mexico. Winds
and seas will gradually subside across the basin late Mon.
Looking ahead, the aforementioned front may stall across the
western Atlantic and NW Caribbean early next week, before moving
back northward as a warm front toward the middle of next week.
The pressure gradient between very strong high pressure north of
the area and lower pressure associated with the warm front may
induce strong to minimal gale force winds and rough to very
rough seas across the northern Gulf by the middle of next week.
