Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
1030 AM EST Mon Dec 8 2025

Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Tropical N Atlantic
from 07N to 19N W of 55W, the N Atlantic from 19N to
31N W of 55W including the Bahamas, and the Caribbean Sea.

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 Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from
07N to 19N W of 55W

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to occasionally fresh trade winds and
moderate seas are expected over the central and eastern Caribbean
through Tue as weak ridging prevails over the central Atlantic.
Winds may pulse to strong speeds in the Gulf of Venezuela and
offshore of northern Colombia by Tue night, and locally rough
seas may develop near and to the west of these winds. An
increasing pressure gradient between a weakening cold front
approaching the northwestern Caribbean and low pressure in the
south-central basin will support fresh to strong trade winds and
rough seas in the central Caribbean for mid to late week.
Elsewhere, a persistent E swell will continue to lead to rough
seas over the Atlantic waters and passages of the Lesser Antilles
into early Wed before seas slightly subside. A new mixed N and E
swell will renew rough seas over this region late Wed through
the rest of the week.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from 30.5N72.5W to central
Florida will progress eastward early this week, and fresh to
strong SW winds are expected ahead of the front north of 27N
through Tue. Rough seas in W swell will develop in this region
east of 70W today, and expand eastward into the central Atlantic
by tonight. Very rough seas over 12 ft will be possible north of
30N and east of 62W by Tue morning. A second, stronger cold front
pushing off the coast of the southeastern United States will
rapidly progress eastward through midweek, and widespread fresh
to strong N to NW winds are expected in the wake of the front,
generally north of 27N and west of 70W by late tonight, with
these winds also expanding eastward toward the central Atlantic
through Tue. A new N swell will support rough seas over the
northwest tropical Atlantic by late tonight, before merging with
the aforementioned rough seas in the central basin on Tue. Winds
will diminish from west to east Tue into early Wed, with rough
seas slowly subsiding through late week. Looking ahead, fresh to
locally strong SW winds may develop off the coast of Florida mid
to late week as a low pressure system moves off the east coast of
the U.S.
