The Caribbean Sea

There will be pulsing gale force winds off the coast of Colombia starting late tonight. High pressure is building across the western Atlantic waters. The pressure gradient between this area of high pressure and low pressure across Colombia is supporting fresh to strong winds over the south central Caribbean. The pressure gradient between the area of high pressure and a trough of low pressure across southern Mexico into Honduras is supporting fresh to strong winds over the Gulf of California. Seas are in the 8-10 ft range over each of these areas. Moderate to fresh winds prevail elsewhere across the Caribbean waters. Seas over these waters are in the 4-6 ft range, except in the lee of Cuba where seas are in the 1-3 ft range.

High pressure will build over the western Atlantic and prevail through the weekend. Fresh to strong winds will persist over the south-central Caribbean, with gale- force winds pulsing near the coast of Colombia each night from Thu night through at least Mon night. Fresh to strong trade winds will expand in coverage this weekend to the remainder of the central and eastern Caribbean. Fresh to strong winds will prevail in the Gulf of Honduras through Sun.
