Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America,
Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
818 PM PDT Tue May 28 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh easterly gap winds are forecast
across the Papagayo region through Friday. 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 the 4-6 ft range
most of the work-week as additional pulses of SW swell propagate
across the forecast region. Hazy skies from smoke caused by
agricultural fires over Mexico and Central America may reduce
visibilities over portions of the Central America offshore
waters through the next few days.
