Coastal Waters Forecast for Texas
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.
Upper Texas coastal waters from High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out 60 nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays. Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves.along with the occasional height of the average highest 10 percent of the waves. Marine conditions are currently in a relative state of improvement on the coastal waters, though the emphasis here is very much on the word relative. Winds and seas are still high enough that small craft need to exercise caution on the nearshore Gulf waters, and a small craft advisory remains in effect on the offshore Gulf waters. Widespread rain and isolated thunderstorms are also still occurring, mainly over the upper coastal waters - Galveston Bay and adjacent portions of the Gulf out 60 nm and beyond into the open Gulf. This evening, look for winds to become more northerly and increase again to 20 to 25 knots with gusts to 30 knots as the coastal low moves off to the east. The Small Craft Advisory on the offshore waters expands back to include all coastal waters through tonight and into early Tuesday morning before winds and seas begin to subside. Advisory-level conditions are expected to continue on the Gulf waters through the morning while winds remain above 20 knots, and on the offshore 20-60 nm Gulf waters into the early afternoon before seas there are finally expected to fall below 7 feet. Despite a short respite Tuesday through Wednesday morning, the unsettled weather pattern will mean another bout with rain, storms, and potentially even periods of sea fog later in the week as we deal with another coastal low and frontal passage.
