Hazardous marine condition(s):
Small Craft Advisory

308 AM CDT Wed Apr 2 2025
.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...
Strong (BF-6) southerly flow will continue this morning before
relaxing to fresh levels (BF-5) this afternoon and continuing
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. 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 9-10 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..
