Hazardous marine condition(s):
Small Craft Advisory

314 PM CDT Wed Apr 2 2025
.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...
Fresh to strong (BF 5/6) southerly flow will continue through
Thursday. While winds will periodically drop below 20 knots, seas
will remain elevated through Thursday which has led to an
extension to the Small Craft Advisory through at least early
Friday morning. With a coastal trough remaining in the western
Gulf and high pressure dominating the eastern Gulf, strong south-
to- north pressure gradient can be expected. This translates to
fresh to strong (BF 5/6) onshore flow through Saturday morning.
Offshore waters can expect 9-11 ft waves, and 5-8 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 fresh to strong once
again. Rain chances will increase to around 30-60% Saturday night
into Sunday, followed by dry conditions behind the front.
