Synopsis for the Gulf of America
344 PM EDT Mon Aug 10 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge extends from the Bermuda High
westward across the northern Gulf, and will dominate the general
wind flow pattern across basin through Fri before it reorganizes
to a weak high center over the NE Gulf through Sat night.
Gentle to moderate E to SE winds will generally prevail across
the basin, with the exception of pulses of fresh winds occurring
north and west of the Yucatan Peninsula and into the Bay of
Campeche each evening and night as a diurnal surface trough
migrates from the Yucatan Peninsula westward across the SW Gulf.
Slight to moderate seas are expected through the forecast
period.
