GMZ500-GMZ501-051800- 1226 AM CDT Sun Oct 5 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM... Low pressure over the central Gulf and a high pressure system over the eastern seaboard will keep a persistent easterly flow of 15 to 25 knots in place across all of the waters today. These winds will also have a pretty long fetch across the eastern Gulf waters, and this will support higher seas of up to 10 feet in the open Gulf waters due to a combination of wind waves and swell. Small craft advisories are in effect through the afternoon hours due to these hazardous conditions. The high will start to become more dominant over the waters on Monday and Tuesday, and this will allow the easterly winds to relax a bit to between 10 and 15 knots. Seas will also decrease to 2 to 4 feet as the winds relax. This brief respite in rougher conditions will end on Wednesday and Thursday as the pressure gradient again tightens over the Gulf. Easterly winds will increase back to near advisory levels in the offshore waters and seas will increase to 4 to 6 feet. $$ GMZ530-051800- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 1226 AM CDT Sun Oct 5 2025 ...SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE CAUTION IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM CDT THIS MORNING... .REST OF TONIGHT...East winds 15 to 20 knots with gusts up to 25 knots.
