Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-180815- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 314 PM EST Wed Jan 17 2024 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure dominates the Gulf waters producing moderate to fresh N to NE winds, except S of 24N where fresh to strong NW to N winds prevail. The high pressure will move eastward towards the Carolinas by tonight. 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 into Sat morning. Gale-force winds and building seas are expected over the SW Gulf, in the wake of the front, Fri night into Sat morning. Strong high pressure will follow the front, keeping winds in the fresh to strong speeds over most of the Gulf waters through Mon. $$ GMZ040-180815- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 314 PM EST Wed Jan 17 2024 .TONIGHT...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt.
