NWS Marine Forecast



 Hazardous marine condition(s):
 Small Craft Advisory
   GMZ500-GMZ501-050100-  701 AM CDT Sat Oct 4 2025      .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...    A broad area of low pressure over the central Gulf and a high  pressure system over the eastern seaboard will keep a persistent  easterly flow of 15 to 25 knots in place across all of the waters  through Sunday. A few gusts to gale force are possible, especially  in the far outer waters. These winds will also have a pretty long  fetch across the eastern Gulf waters, and this will support higher  seas of up to 10 feet in the open Gulf waters due to a combination  of wind waves and swell. Small craft advisories are in effect  through Sunday evening due to these hazardous conditions. The high  will start to become more dominant over the waters on Monday and  Tuesday, and this will allow the easterly winds to relax a bit to  between 10 and 15 knots. Seas will also decrease to 2 to 4 feet as  the winds relax.    $$
