FZNT24 KNHC 100752 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of America NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 352 AM EDT Tue Mar 10 2026 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of America 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. GMZ001-102000- Synopsis for the Gulf of America 352 AM EDT Tue Mar 10 2026 .SYNOPSIS...A broad surface ridge extending across the basin will prevail through midweek. The pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressures over Mexico will support mainly moderate to fresh E to SE winds basin-wide, pulsing to fresh and strong near the northern Yucatan and the western Gulf in the evenings, and slightly weaker winds overall in the northeastern Gulf. Seas will be slight to moderate through Wed. A cold front will impact the northwestern Gulf beginning Wed night, before moving across the basin through Fri night. In the wake of the front, winds will increase to fresh to strong speeds and seas will build to 7 to 10 ft through Thu night with conditions improving thereafter as ridging gradually rebuilds across the basin. $$ GMZ040-102000- NW Gulf of America including Stetson Bank- 352 AM EDT Tue Mar 10 2026 .TODAY...SE to S winds 15 kt.
