Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-301415- Synopsis for the Gulf of America 1005 PM EDT Fri Aug 29 2025 .SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure dominates the area. A stationary front extending from just inland northern Florida westward to southeastern Louisiana will linger through the weekend, then shift southward some as a cold front early next week as low pressure develops along it and tracks northeastward to east of the southeastern U.S. coast. The front will help maintain unsettled weather conditions, with locally hazardous winds and seas mainly along and just offshore the northern Gulf coast through the weekend. Some of these conditions may spread southward some over the offshore waters. The weak gradient in place will maintain mainly gentle to moderate winds and slight to locally moderate seas through the period. $$ GMZ040-301415- NW Gulf of America including Stetson Bank- 1005 PM EDT Fri Aug 29 2025 .OVERNIGHT...SE to S winds 10 kt.
