NWS Marine Forecast



 Hazardous marine condition(s):
 Small Craft Advisory
   GMZ200-022115-  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..    $$
