Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America,
Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
1214 AM PDT Wed May 15 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Gentle to moderate southerly winds are forecast
south of the monsoon trough, with light to gentle winds north of
the monsoon trough, through the end of the week. Southerly swell
moving through the regional waters will support seas of 5-6 ft
through the remainder of the week, building to up to 7 ft
offshore Ecuador to the Galapagos Islands this weekend. Looking
ahead, an area of low pressure is forecast to form along a
trough south or southwest of the Gulf of Tehuantepec by the
middle to latter portion of this week. This may increase the
winds and seas in the offshore waters of Guatemala and El
Salvador toward the end of the week and into the upcoming
weekend.
