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

A longer period mainly 4-6ft swell in association with Hurricane Milton
in the south central Gulf will persist tonight into Wednesday. Otherwise,
northeast winds will prevail for the next few days. As we escape the
more favorable swell window and the pressure gradient relaxes, winds
and seas will diminish during the second half of the work week and into
the weekend.
