Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America,
Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
213 AM PDT Sun Sep 22 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh southwest to west winds south of
the monsoon trough will change little through Mon, then increase
to fresh to near gale force speeds across the offshore waters
from Costa Rica to Guatemala late Mon through Wed night. Seas
will build during this time in mixed swell. The monsoonal flow
is expected to become very active, and dominate the region
through next week. This pattern will generate increasing
westerly wind waves moving into the area waters. Periods of very
active weather are also expected across the Central America
offshore waters through at least mid week.
