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

As low pressure to our east moves further away from the region,
northwest winds will swing around to an onshore direction late
Monday. Winds and seas will then increase going into midweek as
the pressure gradient tightens. Caution flags and Advisories may
be needed at times. Stronger winds could also lead to strong rip
currents along the beaches and higher water levels in and near the
bays. Winds decrease near the end of the work week into the
upcoming weekend.
