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 the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...SE winds reaching gale force and rough to very rough
seas are ongoing across the north- central Gulf, ahead of a cold
front moving into the coastal plains of Texas. These winds and
rough seas will diminish tonight through late Wed ahead of a
cold front moving off the Texas coast tonight. The front will
weaken as it moves southeastward through mid week, eventually
moving southeast of the Gulf by late Thu. Looking ahead, expect
fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas over mainly
the south- central and southeast Gulf behind the front late Thu
and Fri as high pressure builds in the wake of the front and low
pressure deepens off the Carolinas. Winds and seas will diminish
again across the Gulf into Sat as the high pressure moves
eastward across the northern Gulf.
