This will lead to diminishing gap winds across the Papagayo region and Gulf of Panama through Tue morning. Fresh to strong NE winds will then resume later on Tue and continue through the week as the cold front stalls across the NW Caribbean and weakens, and high pressure builds N of the region. NW swell generated from the Gulf of Tehuantepec gale event will briefly move into the waters off of Guatemala and El Salvador Tue through Wed. Elsewhere east and southeast of Papagayo, relatively benign marine conditions will prevail for the next several days. No significant cross- equatorial swell is expected through Fri. $$ PMZ111-130915- Guatemala and El Salvador to 250 nm offshore- 115 PM PST Mon Feb 12 2024 .TONIGHT...N winds 10 kt.
