Synopsis for the Gulf of America

520 AM EDT Sun Jul 5 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A weak surface ridge will continue to dominate the

Gulf waters through the forecast period supporting gentle to

moderate winds over the western Gulf and light to gentle winds

over the eastern Gulf. The exception will be pulsing winds

reaching fresh to locally strong speeds off the northwestern

Yucatan Peninsula nightly through Thu. These winds are the result

of local effects associated with a surface trough. Slight to 

moderate seas are expected basin-wide.
