.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh easterly gap winds are
forecast across the Papagayo region through Fri. Elsewhere,
gentle to moderate S to SW winds will persist south of the
monsoon trough along roughly 10N while light to gentle winds are
expected north of it through Fri. Combined seas will remain in

caused by agricultural fires over Mexico and Central America may
