FZPN28 KNHC 071934 OFFPZ8 Offshore Waters Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1234 PM PDT Tue Jul 7 2026 Offshore Waters Forecast for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America, Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador 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. PMZ101-080745- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America, Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador 1234 PM PDT Tue Jul 7 2026 .SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong NE-E gap winds will pulse in the Gulf of Papagayo region into early Thu along with rough seas, then moderate to fresh winds thereafter. Cross equatorial SW swell will move through the waters off Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands through Wed, with seas peaking around 9 ft. The combination of the southerly swell with shorter period seas associated with gap winds will allow combined seas to build to a peak of about 8 ft offshore of northern Central America through Wed. Gentle to moderate breezes and slight to moderate seas will persist elsewhere, with locally fresh N winds in the Gulf of Panama tonight. Looking ahead, lowering pressure across the tropical eastern Pacific will induce fresh to strong winds and occasionally rough seas offshore El Salvador and Guatemala by the end weekend. $$ PMZ111-080745- Guatemala and El Salvador to 250 nm offshore- 1234 PM PDT Tue Jul 7 2026 .TONIGHT...NE winds 10 to 15 kt.
