Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. 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.
