.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong NE to E winds will continue across 
the Papagayo region through the weekend as high pressure builds N
of area in the wake of a cold front moving across the NW Caribbean.
These winds will reach near gale-force today and Wed, and resume
again over the weekend, with seas building to around 11 ft tonight.
Moderate to fresh N winds will continue to pulse in the Gulf of 
Panama through the weekend. Elsewhere, winds will be moderate or 
weaker through Sat. Otherwise, seas generated by a very strong 
gap wind event in the Tehuantepec region will continue to propagate
across the offshore forecast waters of Guatemala and El Salvador
today through Wed evening. The highest seas, in the 12 to 18 ft 
range in NW swell, are expected today. A second gap wind event in
the Gulf of Tehuantepec over the upcoming weekend will also impact
these waters with seas to around 14 ft.
