Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
229 AM PDT Wed Jul 2 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to locally strong NE to E winds will pulse
across the Papagayo region through Thu night due to the pressure
gradient between a ridge to the N and lower pressure along the
monsoon trough. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and moderate
seas in southerly swell are expected. Moderate to rough cross
equatorial S to SW swell will affect the waters near the
Galapagos Islands into Thu. Moderate or weaker winds are
