GMZ300-110745- 111 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 .Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM including Galveston and Matagorda Bays. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect through this evening. These elevated northerly winds will also generate low water conditions on area bays for today`s low tide cycle. The most severe low water conditions are anticipated on upper portions of Galveston Bay and Houston Ship Channel, where a low water advisory remains in effect. Model guidance suggests this may even linger around Manchester and Morgan`s Point into Tuesday`s low tide cycle, which could potentially require an extension of the low water advisory for another day. Beyond today, less rough marine conditions should prevail for most of the week ahead. Two periods to watch out for will be for a stretch of elevated southerly to southwesterly winds Tuesday night, and again this weekend when another cold front is expected to arrive. $$ GMZ335-110745- Galveston Bay- 111 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 ...LOW WATER ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CST TONIGHT... ...SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CST THIS EVENING... .THIS AFTERNOON...North winds around 10 knots.
