Synopsis for the Gulf of America
448 PM EDT Tue Aug 11 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge extends from the western Atlantic
westward across the northern Gulf, and will change little going
into the weekend. The ridge will be in control of the general wind
flow pattern across the basin through the period allowing for
mostly gentle to moderate E to SE winds to 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.
