.Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM
including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Weaker winds and gradually lowering seas are expected through midweek.
Recreational mariners are urged to use extra caution for the remainder
of the day today considering the increased holiday traffic. During the
second half of the week, moderate to occasionally stronger southeast
winds and mainly 4 to 6 foot seas resume with a long fetch setting up
across the Gulf. Shower and thunderstorm chances return to the forecast
late Tuesday night and Wednesday. Though chances are better inland,
we anticipate some disturbances passing through the remainder of the
week that are difficult to time days in advance.
