Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Gulf of Mexico

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.

Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...The Atlantic ridge extends W-SW into the eastern
Gulf, and will dominate the basin through the next several days.
This pattern will support generally moderate to fresh SE winds
in the western Gulf, fresh to occasionally strong near the
Yucatan Peninsula and in the NW Gulf, and gentle to moderate
winds in the eastern Gulf. By Thu, the ridge will weaken,
allowing for winds to diminish somewhat. Hazy conditions due to
agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico will continue
for the next couple of days, reducing visibility to around 3 nm
at times, mainly over the western half of the Gulf.
