Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1017 AM EDT Mon Jul 6 2026



.SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging will prevail across the basin through

the forecast period, thus supporting gentle to moderate winds 

over the western half of the Gulf, except for fresh to strong ENE

winds offshore the Yucatan peninsula at night. Moderate or weaker

winds are forecast for the eastern half of the Gulf while slight 

seas are forecast basin-wide.
