.SYNOPSIS...Gentle to moderate southerly winds are forecast
south of the monsoon trough through the end of the week.
Southerly swell moving through the regional waters will support
seas of 5-7 ft south of the Galapagos Islands through the
forecast period. An area of low pressure is forecast to form
south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec by mid to late week and move
west-northwestward. This will increase the winds and seas in the
offshore waters of Guatemala and El Salvador toward the end of
the week and into the upcoming weekend.
