Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America,
Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
244 PM PDT Sat Jun 6 2026

.SYNOPSIS...SW swell across the region will fade tonight
through early Sun, before new large SW swell builds across the 
regional waters Sun through early Tue. As a result, moderate 
seas will becoming rough by Sun, and then very rough in the 
offshore waters of Central America by late Sun or early Mon. 
At the same time, convergent monsoonal winds will generate
periods of heavy showers and strong thunderstorms across the 
regional offshore waters at least into early next week.
Developing low pressure south of El Salvador and Guatemala will 
aid in strengthening the monsoonal SW to W winds across the 
offshore waters of Central America on Sun, bringing strong to 
near-gale force winds into the outer waters late Sun through Mon.
