Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
754 AM PDT Sun Apr 6 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong NE to E winds across the Gulf of
Papagayo region will diminish this afternoon through early Tue

strong winds will then return to the Papagayo region Tue night as
high pressure behind a Gulf of America cold front builds N of
the area. Large NW swell will impact the outer waters of
Guatemala late Mon through Wed as a Tehuantepec gale event

seas between Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands into next week,
with new SW swell reaching the Galapagos Islands by the middle of
the week. Otherwise, gentle to locally moderate winds are
expected across the remainder of the waters into next week, along
