Synopsis for High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out
60 nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
353 AM CST Thu Nov 7 2024

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

Some patchy fog around Matagorda Bay early this morning has prompted
a Marine Dense Fog Advisory through 9 AM. There is potential for
Galveston Bay to be added to the advisory as well if decreased
visibilities become more widespread in the bay. Southeasterly
winds gradually transition to easterly later today and will
prevail through the end of the work week. Rain chances increase
Friday into Saturday as another cold front moves through the
region bringing another period of northeasterly winds through the
weekend. Onshore flow returns by early next week.

Swells from Rafael are expected to increase wave heights along
with an increased risk of rip currents over the weekend. Small
Craft Advisories will likely be needed over the weekend due to the
elevated wave heights.
