NWS Marine Forecast



 Hazardous marine condition(s):
 Small Craft Advisory
   GMZ200-030915-  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.    $$
