000 FZNT24 KNHC 190301 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1101 PM EDT Sat Mar 18 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. GMZ001-191515- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1101 PM EDT Sat Mar 18 2023 .SYNOPSIS...Strong with locally near-gale northerly winds and rough seas follow a cold front extending from near St. Petersburg, Florida to near Coatzacoalcos, Mexico. Frequent gusts to gale- force are expected at the central Gulf through Sun evening, and eastern Bay of Campeche by Sun morning. As the front reaches from the Florida Keys to northern Yucatan Sun morning, sustained northerly winds offshore from Veracruz, Mexico will reach gale force. The front will move southeast of the area by early Mon. High pressure building in the wake of the front will allow winds and seas to diminish across most the Gulf through Mon, although fresh to strong winds over the western Gulf will persist and shift SE Mon night into Tue evening. Looking ahead, winds and seas will continue to diminish across the remainder of the Gulf through mid week. $$ GMZ040-191515- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1101 PM EDT Sat Mar 18 2023 .OVERNIGHT...N to NE winds 20 to 25 kt.
