NWS Marine Forecast


   GMZ200-050630-  1246 PM CDT Sat Oct 4 2025      .SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...    A moderate to fresh east-northeasterly breeze (BF 4-5) will  persist through Sunday morning. This uptick in winds will be  accompanied by elevated wave heights, with seas of 4-6 feet  expected through the overnight hours, creating SCEC and SCA  conditions. The SCA for the open waters generally north of Port  Aransas will continue until 1AM Sunday. The easterly wind  component, elevated seas, and long swell periods will continue to  lead to a HIGH rip current risk. With a full moon on October 6th,  astronomical high tides combined with the above mentioned features  have resulted in minor coastal flooding as well, with water  levels already reaching the dunes. Winds will decrease to a gentle  to moderate breeze (BF 3-4) Sunday morning and shift back to an  east-southeasterly flow. Low (20-30%) rain and thunderstorm  chances remain in the forecast through Monday before increasing  to low to moderate (20-50%) rain chances beginning Tuesday into  the remainder of the work week.    $$
