NWS Marine Forecast



 Hazardous marine condition(s):
 Small Craft Advisory
   GMZ200-021515-  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.    $$
