Winds will also remain elevated through Sunday as a low pressure system passes to the north of the waters. Seas will also increase to up to 6 to 7 feet in the outer Gulf waters as a combination of wind waves and swell creates hazardous boating conditions. However, the protected sounds and lakes will see better conditions over the weekend as winds and seas remain lower. Conditions will gradually improve on Monday and Tuesday as winds fall below 15 knots. $$ GMZ530-190900- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 331 PM CDT Fri Apr 18 2025 .TONIGHT...Southeast winds 10 to 15 knots.
