including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

A lingering elevated, longer period southerly swell will continue to
slowly decline for the rest of the day. Otherwise, northeast winds
will generally prevail into early Thursday. As surface high pressure
moves off to the east, onshore winds should resume late Thursday and
gradually increase in speed heading into the weekend. Seas are expected
to increase over the weekend as well. Caution flags are anticipated
toward the end of the week and over the weekend, and advisories might
be needed too.
