including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Onshore winds will prevail into early next week. A broad area of
low pressure over the western Caribbean Sea is forecast to move
into the Bay of Campeche later this weekend. Though this system
should remain well to our south, look for seas to increase as a
longer period swell moves into the upper Texas coastal waters
Saturday night through Sunday night.
