Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-060815- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 410 PM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A weak Atlantic ridge extends SW into the NE Gulf, and will dominate the basin through the next several days. This pattern will support generally moderate to locally fresh SE to S winds in the western Gulf, fresh to occasionally strong near the Yucatan Peninsula, and gentle to moderate winds in the eastern Gulf through early Fri. On Fri, the ridge will weaken, allowing for winds to diminish somewhat into the weekend. Hazy conditions due to agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico will continue for the next couple of days, reducing visibility to around 1 to 3 nm at times, mainly over the southwestern half of the Gulf. $$ GMZ040-060815- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 410 PM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024 .TONIGHT...SE to S winds 10 kt.
