Favorable Conditions Persist

Conditions are currently pretty favorable for westward travel and will continue to be so. Winds may increase in the short term but will then start to relax and develop a more easterly component. You are now either in or approaching the southern portion of a clockwise gyre in the currents which will give you a nice ride but as you exit around 30W the current will turn northward.
