Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America,
Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
744 PM PDT Sun May 26 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Gentle to moderate S to SW winds will persist south
of the monsoon trough with axis along roughly 10N while light to
gentle winds are expected north of it through Fri. Light haze
from smoke caused by agricultural fires over Mexico could reduce
visibilities over portions of the Central America offshore waters
through the next few days. Seas will remain in the 3 to 5 ft
range most of the work-week as additional pulses of SW swell
propagate across the forecast region.
