496 FZPN28 KNHC 022039 OFFPZ8 Offshore Waters Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 139 PM PDT Fri Apr 2 2021 Offshore Waters Forecast for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America, Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador 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. PMZ101-030845- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America, Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador 139 PM PDT Fri Apr 2 2021 .SYNOPSIS...Pacaya volcano in southern Guatemala near 14.4N 90.6W is currently in a state of unrest and is producing emissions of volcanic ash. Although the ash plume has thinned out as it spreads southwestward over the coastal waters of Guatemala, some of it may be reaching the ocean surface north of 12N between 91W and 92W. Mariners over these waters are still urged to exercise caution. Elsewhere, fresh to strong offshore gap winds will continue across the Gulf of Papagayo region into early next week. Seas will build from northern Costa Rica to Guatemala due to the combination of northerly swell from the Gulf of Tehuantepec region and northeast to east swell generated from the Papagayo gap wind area mixing with longer-period southwest swell. $$ PMZ111-030845- Guatemala and El Salvador to 250 nm offshore- 139 PM PDT Fri Apr 2 2021 .TONIGHT...N to NE winds 10 to 15 kt.
