.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

A moderate to fresh east-northeasterly breeze (BF 4-5) will
persist through the weekend. This uptick in winds will lead to an
increase in wave heights, with seas of 4-5 feet expected by this
evening, creating borderline SCEC/SCA conditions. The easterly
wind component, elevated seas, and long swell periods will lead to
an increased rip current risk. With a full moon this weekend,
astronomical high tides combined with the above mentioned features
may result in minor coastal flooding as well with water levels
potentially approaching the dunes. Winds will decrease to a gentle
to moderate breeze (BF 3-4) Sunday morning and shift back to an
east-southeasterly flow. Low to medium (20-60%) rain and
thunderstorm chances remain in the forecast through Saturday night
before decreasing to low (20-40%) rain chances beginning Sunday
into the work week.
