more than twice the significant wave height.

Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure dominates the Gulf waters producing
moderate to fresh northerly winds, except in the SW Gulf where
fresh to strong NW to N winds prevail. The high pressure will
move eastward towards the Carolinas by this evening. As a
result, winds will veer to the E and SE with improving marine
conditions. The next cold front will enter the NW Gulf by late
Thu, reaching from the Florida Big Bend to near Tampico, Mexico
by Fri morning, and the far SE Gulf by Fri night. Gale-force
winds and building seas are expected over the SW Gulf, in the
wake of the front, Fri night into Sat morning
