Hazardous marine condition(s):
Small Craft Advisory

949 PM CDT Tue Apr 1 2025
.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...
Small Craft Advisory conditions will likely continue through the
rest of the work week with seas 7 to 10 feet over the open waters.
A fresh to strong south to southeasterly breeze will persist with
gusts near gale force through the rest of tonight into Wednesday
morning. Slight visibility reductions due to patchy fog and haze
may develop as we head into Wednesday morning. A coastal trough
in the western Gulf and high pressure dominating the eastern Gulf
will result in a strong south-to- north pressure gradient. This
translates to fresh to strong (BF 5/6) onshore flow through
Saturday morning. Offshore waters can expect 9-10 ft waves, and
5-7 ft in the nearshore waters for the same time period. Before a
cold front moves through on Saturday, onshore flow weakens briefly
to gentle (BF 4) winds, but as the winds switch to be more
offshore by Saturday night, winds will increase to be more fresh,
with waves dropping to 4-5 ft in the nearshore waters, and down to
5-7 ft in the offshore waters.
