Moderate to locally fresh winds could occur offshore Guatemala through Wed due to the influence of a Gulf of Tehuantepec gap wind event. This gap event will also act to increase the seas across the Guatemala offshores most of the week. Gentle to moderate S to SW winds will prevail elsewhere through the weekend with locally fresh winds possible along the Costa Rica and Panama offshore waters toward the end of the week. Moderate seas in long period SW swell are expected across the area. $$ PMZ111-091000- Guatemala and El Salvador to 250 nm offshore- 257 PM PDT Tue Oct 8 2024 .TONIGHT...W winds 10 to 15 kt.
