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...A late season cold front is across the western Gulf,
extending from SE Louisiana SW to the Bay of Campeche. The front
will reach from South Florida to the NE Yucatan Peninsula this
evening and to just SE of the Gulf early Thu. Gale-force
offshore northerly winds off Veracruz will diminish this
morning. Fresh to strong winds and building seas are expected
elsewhere west of the front. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms, some strong to possibly severe, may impact some
sections of the area. Winds and seas will decrease Thu through
Fri as high pressure builds in the wake of the front. The high
pressure will shift eastward through the end of the week
allowing for fresh to strong E to SE winds to develop over the
western and central Gulf through Sat night.
