Synopsis for the Gulf of America

940 AM EDT Sun Oct 11 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Cedar Key, Florida to

27N85W, then becomes a stationary to the coast of NE Mexico near

24N98W. Large NE swell in the west-central Gulf is subsiding this

morning. The front will move across the southeast Gulf through 

mid week. High pressure building behind the front over the north-

central Gulf will support E to SE winds and moderate seas from 

the Florida Straits to the Texas coast, and gentle breezes and 

slight seas elsewhere.
