Synopsis for the Gulf of America
348 PM EDT Fri Jul 3 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 early next week. These winds
are the result of local effects associated with a surface
trough. Slight to moderate seas are expected.
