.Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM
including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.
Conditions should continue to improve later today as winds relax,
seas subside and water levels rise in the bays. Mariners should
still anticipate negative tide levels through the week, especially
around low tide cycles in the upper portions of the bays. Onshore
winds return this evening, but only briefly before the next cold
front arrives Friday night. Small Craft Advisories will likely be
needed again on Saturday through early Sunday for strong northeast
winds after the front. Chance of some light rain on Saturday as
well. Onshore winds return Sunday night.
