Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
1238 PM PDT Wed Sep 18 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Gentle to moderate SW to W winds will continue south
of the monsoon trough near 10N through Thu afternoon, then begin
to freshen offshore Thu evening through Sat. Seas will build
during this time in a mix of SW swell and westerly wind swell.
Active weather is expected south of 10N Fri into the weekend.

starting Thu as a long fetch of westerly winds sets up from
offshore to 110W, and generates increasing wind waves moving into
the area waters.
