Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. PMZ101-250945- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America, Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador 145 PM PST Mon Feb 24 2025 .SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure extending into the western Caribbean will allow for moderate winds pulsing to fresh winds at night through the morning hours for the Papagayo region and Gulf of Panama through Thu. By the end of the week and continuing into the weekend, a building ridge north of the Caribbean will support fresh to strong easterly winds in the Gulf of Papagayo, with seas building to 8 ft during the strongest winds. Meanwhile, seas are expected to build offshore Guatemala by the end of the week into the weekend due to a strong gap wind event in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Otherwise, moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail across the remainder of the offshore waters of Central and South America through the forecast period. $$ PMZ111-250945- Guatemala and El Salvador to 250 nm offshore- 145 PM PST Mon Feb 24 2025 .TONIGHT...NW winds 10 kt.
