Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
338 PM EST Mon Dec 8 2025

Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Tropical N Atlantic
from 07N to 19N W of 55W, the N Atlantic from 19N to
31N W of 55W including the Bahamas, and the Caribbean Sea.

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.

Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from
07N to 19N W of 55W

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to occasionally fresh trade winds and
moderate seas are expected over the central and eastern Caribbean
through Tue as weak ridging prevails over the central Atlantic.
Winds may pulse to strong speeds in the Gulf of Venezuela and
offshore of northern Colombia by Tue night, and locally rough
seas may develop near and to the west of these winds. An
increasing pressure gradient between a weakening cold front
approaching the northwestern Caribbean and low pressure in the
south-central basin will support fresh to strong trade winds and
rough seas in the central Caribbean for mid to late week. Winds
may approach near-gale force offshore of Colombia late Wed.
Elsewhere, a persistent E swell will continue to lead to rough
seas over the Atlantic waters and passages of the Lesser Antilles
into early Wed before seas slightly subside. A new mixed N and E
swell will renew rough seas over this region late Wed through
the rest of the week.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from southwest of Bermuda to
just northeast of the Bahamas will progress eastward early this
week, and fresh to strong SW winds are expected ahead of the
front north of 27N through Tue. Rough seas in W swell will
develop in this region east of 73W today, and expand eastward
into the central Atlantic by tonight. Very rough seas over 12 ft
will be possible north of 30N and east of 64W by Tue morning. A
second, stronger cold front extending from 31N75W to central
Florida will rapidly progress eastward through midweek, and
widespread fresh to strong N to NW winds are expected in the wake
of the front, generally north of 27N and west of 65W by late
tonight, with these winds also expanding eastward toward the
central Atlantic through Tue. A new N swell will support rough
seas over the northwest tropical Atlantic by late tonight, before
merging with the aforementioned rough seas in the central basin
on Tue. Winds will diminish from west to east through Tue night,
with rough seas slowly subsiding through late week. Looking
ahead, fresh to locally strong SW winds and rough seas may
develop off the coast of Florida mid to late week as a low
pressure system moves off the east coast of the U.S.
