376 FZNT24 KNHC 080749 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of America NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 349 AM EDT Wed Jul 8 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. GMZ001-082000- Synopsis for the Gulf of America 349 AM EDT Wed Jul 8 2026 .SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure extending westward across the basin from the Atlantic will change little through Thu night, then shift northward to near the northern Gulf coast Fri through Sat night. The related pressure gradient will generally maintain gentle to moderate east to southeast winds across the Gulf south of about 26N, and light to gentle southeast to south winds north of about 26N, except for fresh to strong northeast to east winds offshore the Yucatan peninsula at night due to the diurnal trough that moves westward from the Yucatan peninsula. A mid to upper-level low acting on a very unstable and moisture-laden atmosphere will continue to result in scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over the SW Gulf, with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms elsewhere across the basin south of about 28N through Thu. $$ GMZ040-082000- NW Gulf of America including Stetson Bank- 349 AM EDT Wed Jul 8 2026 .TODAY...S winds 10 kt in the morning, becoming variable less than 5 kt.
