594 FZNT24 KNHC 020840 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of America NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 440 AM EDT Fri Oct 2 2026 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of America 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. GMZ001-022045- Synopsis for the Gulf of America 440 AM EDT Fri Oct 2 2026 .SYNOPSIS...An upper-level low currently over SE Mexico will promote scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over the eastern and northern Gulf through this weekend. High pressure supports moderate to locally strong SE winds over much of the basin. However, a weak front moving across Texas will weaken the pressure gradient, allowing the winds across the Gulf today into the weekend. Late this weekend, the front will reach the NW Gulf, extending from the Florida panhandle to just offshore the Texas-Mexico border to near Veracruz on Mon morning. Winds behind the front should only be N to NE moderate to fresh and moderate seas. $$ GMZ040-022045- NW Gulf of America including Stetson Bank- 440 AM EDT Fri Oct 2 2026 .TODAY...E to SE winds 10 kt.
