NWS Marine Forecast



 Hazardous marine condition(s):
 Small Craft Advisory
   GMZ500-GMZ501-051100-  537 PM CDT Thu Jun 4 2026      .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...    A tight pressure gradient is in place between a weak wave over the  central Gulf and high pressure over the southeastern states is  leading to strong easterly winds with solidly sustained winds of  20 to 25 knots over all of the coastal waters. Gusts above 30 knots  are occurring and expected to occur over the next day or two. Seas  are still climbing with the outer waters already around 7 feet.  These hazardous conditions will continue through Friday before  finally seeing winds start to veer around to more southeasterly and  then southerly this weekend as that tropical wave moves towards the  Louisiana coast Friday and inland on Saturday. Going into this  weekend some improvement takes place, but winds and seas will remain  moderate. We will see an increase in storms Friday and Saturday,  especially east of the Mississippi River Delta and that will lead to  locally higher winds and seas.    $$
