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

Fetch of moderate onshore winds will maintain somewhat elevated seas
for the next several days. Mariners should note high flows from area
rivers, creeks, and streams will lead to above normal water
levels and strong currents in the bays and ICWW well into midweek
and can make navigation difficult. There is only a slight chance
of rain, if any, expected into midweek. Onshore flow should
prevail until the next cold front pushes off the coast Thursday
night.
