more than twice the significant wave height.

Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge dominates the Gulf waters producing mainly
gentle to moderate E to SE winds. The pressure gradient between
the ridge and lower pressures in Texas and Mexico will support
fresh to occasionally strong winds in the western half of the
Gulf Wed night into the weekend. Moderate or weaker winds will
prevail in the eastern half of the Gulf. Winds will pulse to
strong speeds nightly near and to the NW of the Yucatan
Peninsula due to local effects induced by a thermal trough.
