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

A longer period 3 to 5 foot swell will be decaying through the
day. Surface high pressure in the vicinity will result in light
winds and a more distinct landbreeze/seabreeze circulation through
Tuesday followed by a more prevalent onshore flow as we head into
mid and late week. We might see another longer period swell arrive
at some point this weekend in association with Hurricane Beryl
that is forecast to move into the Bay of Campeche late Friday.
