Synopsis: High pressure centred near 34N/45W will weaken as it drifts SE to near 31N/36W by late tomorrow, then turning more NE to near 34N/32W by late 29/11. An axis of modest ridging extends ESE from the center to between the Canary Islands and the Cape Verde Islands and this ridge axis will weaken/broaden as it shifts S to just north of the Cape Verde Islands thru tomorrow night. One gale center west of s'rn Portugal will weak quickly today. A potent front will move SE across the Canary Islands early tomorrow, and continue SW to near 20N by late 29/11 as it weakens. Conclusion: Swells will be highest in n'rn grids AA, BB and CC. Particularly higher swells are expected in grid BB and all n'rn exposed areas of grid AA. Swells will also be highest north of 25N and east of 30W due to aforementioned gale. Swells will be lowest in grids HH and GG, with slightly enhanced swells north of 21N in grid GG. Overall swells will build thru 28/11, then will lower in the long range as gale weakens thru 30/11. Similarly, winds will gradually freshen in grids AA, BB and CC, with highest winds in n'rn half of AA, BB, and CC. With lighter winds expected in s'rn grids GG and HH.=A0 Locally enhanced winds/swells are expected traveling in between islands thru 29/11.
