000 FZNT24 KNHC 010836 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 336 AM EST Wed Mar 1 2023 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico 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. GMZ001-012045- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 336 AM EST Wed Mar 1 2023 .SYNOPSIS...A ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf waters through tonight. Expect southerly winds, gentle to moderate for the eastern Gulf, and moderate to occasional fresh over the western Gulf. This moist southerly flow will continue to favor the development of marine fog across the northern Gulf early this morning and tonight. Fresh to locally strong winds will pulse until sunrise this morning and tonight near and northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula due to a thermal trough. Southerly flow will increase and reach fresh to strong by Thu, ahead of a cold front forecast to move eastward across the Gulf late Thu night and Fri. These winds will reach near-gale force across the Bay of Campeche and central Gulf, and might peak at gale-force offshore from Veracruz, Mexico. This front is anticipated to stall and weaken across the east-central Gulf and eastern Bay of Campeche on Sat, which should allow both winds and seas to gradually subside. $$ GMZ040-012045- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 336 AM EST Wed Mar 1 2023 .TODAY...SE to S winds 15 to 20 kt.
