Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America,
Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
722 AM PDT Mon Apr 7 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh NE to E winds will pulse in the
Papagayo region through tonight, then pulse to fresh to strong
mainly at night and into the early morning hours thereafter as
high pressure in the wake of a Gulf of America cold front builds
north of the region. Seas may build to rough with these winds
starting early Thu. Large NW swell will begin to impact the outer
waters of Guatemala later today through Wed as a Tehuantepec
gale event develops, then again possibly Fri night into next
weekend. Elsewhere, mixed SW and NW swell will maintain moderate
seas between Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands through the early
part of the week, with new SW swell reaching the Galapagos
Islands by the middle of the week building seas to around rough.
Otherwise, gentle to locally moderate winds are expected across
the remainder of the waters, along with slight to moderate seas,
except moderate to fresh winds in the Gulf of Panama Wed night.
