NWS Marine Forecast


   GMZ600-160900-  302 PM CDT Wed Jul 15 2026      .SYNOPSIS...  Light westerly flow remains in place across nearshore and outer  Gulf waters today and Thursday, with brief nearshore wind shift  from the WSW to SW each afternoon following daily seabreeze  development. Will monitor nearshore waters today and Thursday if  inland convection can ignite along the aforementioned seabreeze  and drift southeast back towards the coast, along progressive NW  flow developing as a ridge of high pressure drifts west across SE  LA. This could introduce an isolated risk of gusty, erratic wind  gusts in any locally stronger storm. Seas generally 1-2 for Gulf  waters, <1 ft for protected waters thru the rest of the week and  into the weekend    $$
