GMZ300-120815- Synopsis for High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out 60 nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays 208 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024 .Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM including Galveston and Matagorda Bays. Generally light to moderate onshore flow and low seas should prevail through the end of the week. There will be a daily risk of isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Isolated stronger storms capable of locally higher winds and seas cannot be ruled out. At the shore, the lighter winds will result in seas that - while above astronomical tide levels alone - are expected to stay around or below 2 feet above MLLW and unlikely to cause disruptive impacts. The lighter onshore winds also will limit risk of dangerous rip currents, but not eliminate the risk entirely. $$ GMZ335-120815- Galveston Bay- 208 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024 .THIS AFTERNOON...Southeast winds 5 to 10 knots.
