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

Elevated wave heights from the longer period swells will continue
to subside throughout the day. Surface high pressure in the
vicinity will result in light winds and a more distinct
landbreeze/seabreeze circulation through Tuesday followed by a
more prevalent onshore flow as we head into mid and late week. We
might see another longer period swell arrive at some point this
weekend in association with Hurricane Beryl that is forecast to
move into the Bay of Campeche late Friday.
