Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N W of 55W .SYNOPSIS...A frontal boundary will move into the far northeast Caribbean and stall through Sat, then dissipate. High pressure will build in the wake of the front across the western Atlantic into Sat. Large, long-period northerly swell will also accompany the front, impacting the Atlantic passages into the northeast Caribbean Sat, the Atlantic waters east off the Leeward Islands starting Sat night, and the waters east of the Windward Islands by early Sun before subsiding into Mon. The pattern will also support moderate to fresh trade winds over the eastern and south- central Caribbean, with stronger winds pulsing off Colombia through early next week.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...A mostly stationary front extending from 25N55W to northeast Hispaniola will move little today, ahead of a reinforcing front from 31N55W to central Cuba. Winds to gale force are both ahead and behind the reinforcing front N of 28N, with rough to very rough seas. These winds and seas will move southeast of Bermuda today. The fronts will merge late today and shift east of the area by early Sat. Farther west, expect SW gales and rough seas off northwest Florida late tonight into early Sat, ahead of another cold front that will move off the coast Sat. This front will shift across the forecast waters and exit east of the area through Mon. As with the earlier front, gale force winds and rough seas are possible over the northern waters in the vicinity of the front through Sun. Winds and seas will diminish as high pressure builds over the basin Sun into Mon. ATLC waters from 27N to 31N W of 77W ...GALE WARNING... .TODAY...SE winds less than 10 kt.
