Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.

Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure building across the eastern
United States will support strong winds over the northern and
eastern Gulf of Mexico today, with easterly gales offshore of SW
 Florida through this afternoon. Low pressure will form in the
SW Gulf Fri night, then move NE Sat and inland across the
Florida Big Bend Sat night. This will produce additional gales
in the NE Gulf beginning Sat. A cold front will trail from the
low, exiting the Gulf by early Sun. Strong north winds will
spill into the western Gulf Sat and Sat night behind the front.
High pressure will then settle in over the area through early
next week allowing for marine conditions to improve. Expect
widespread showers and thunderstorms over most of the central
and eastern Gulf through early Sun.
