Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A Central American Gyre is currently over southern Mexico and Central America. The gyre center is expected to persist through the middle of this week, while shifting W to WNW into the SW Gulf of Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms across the SE Gulf, along with winds to gale-force and rough seas, are expected to continue over the W Gulf with this system. Environmental conditions appear conducive for a tropical cyclone to develop from this broad circulation, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form by midweek while it moves toward the western Gulf coast.
