.Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM
including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Onshore flow around 15 to 20 knots will persist through early 
Saturday with 2-4ft seas. Persistent onshore flow has led to 
increased wave runup along beaches and water levels are expected 
to be near 3.0 feet above Mean Lower Low Water during high tide 
cycles over the next few days. A cold front with associated 
showers and storms are expected to push offshore Saturday evening 
into early Sunday. Hazardous marine conditions are expected Saturday
evening into early Sunday afternoon due to the strong 
northeasterly winds and building seas developing behind the cold 
front. There will be a chance for gusts to gale in the Bays early 
Sunday morning with gale conditions antipated in the Gulf Waters.
Winds will lower through the day on Sunday, but seas may remain 
elevated into Sunday night.
