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

Winds and seas decrease somewhat today and on into the early and midweek
time period. That said, recreational mariners are urged to use extra
caution today considering the increased holiday traffic. During the
second half of the upcoming week, moderate to occasionally strong southeast
winds and 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 this week that are difficult to time
days in advance.
