FZNT24 KNHC 070801 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of America NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 401 AM EDT Tue Apr 7 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. GMZ001-072015- Synopsis for the Gulf of America 401 AM EDT Tue Apr 7 2026 .SYNOPSIS...A nearly-stationary cold front extends from near Tampa Bay to just offshore the NW Yucatan Peninsula. A 1012 mb low pressure is noted along this front near 23N90W. Fresh to strong winds and rough seas in the SW Gulf will decrease today, but strong NE winds and rough seas in the NE Gulf will increase as the low tracks east along the slow-moving front and across Florida into tonight. Thunderstorms with locally gusty can be expected across the eastern Gulf ahead of the low. The front will then stall into late week over the far SE basin and only gradually dissipate, leaving a tight pressure gradient between it and building high pressure from the SE U.S. This will maintain the strong winds and rough seas over the NE basin much of the week, with near gale conditions possible Wed and Thu offshore Florida. Conditions will begin to improve somewhat Fri as the high pressure builds southwestward across the northern Gulf. $$ GMZ040-072015- NW Gulf of America including Stetson Bank- 401 AM EDT Tue Apr 7 2026 .TODAY...NE to E winds 10 to 15 kt.
