are 5 to 6 ft north of Cabo San Lazaro in NW swell. Farther
south, fresh to strong winds are noted between Socorro Island and
Clarion Island related to Ten-E, with seas estimated to be as
high as 10 ft in this area. Light to gentle breezes are noted
elsewhere, with 3 to 5 ft seas in open waters in mostly SW swell
south of 20N, and NW to N swell north of 20N. Light SE winds and
slight seas are noted in the Gulf of California.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND
WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...
A cluster of showers and thunderstorms prevails west of Costa
Rica as a tropical wave interacts with the monsoon trough in the
area. Fresh winds and seas to 6 ft are expected within this
convective activity. Light to gentle breezes persist north of
05N, with 3 to 5 ft seas. Gentle to moderate SW winds and 4 to 6
ft seas in SW swell are noted south of 05N.
For the forecast, moderate SW winds will prevail across the
offshore waters between Ecuador and the Galapagos Island through
the forecast period. Seas will build in SW swell in this region
tonight and then will continue to spread northward towards the
Central America offshore waters south of 05N through the week.
Light to gentle variable winds and moderate seas will prevail
across the northern Central America offshore waters through mid-
week.
REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

the monsoon trough and west of 115W. Moderate to fresh NE to E
winds are north of 20N and west of 130W, and between the monsoon
trough and 20N west of 120W where seas are 5-7 ft. Mainly gentle
