nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
318 AM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019
.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Moderate to occasionally strong onshore winds will occur through
Sunday. This long duration moderate fetch will elevate seas, push
water levels up along upper Texas coastlines and strengthen the rip
current. Moderate and - at times - strong onshore flow is expected
to continue for much of the week, with periods of caution flags
and possibly more small craft advisories possible.

nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
318 AM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019
.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Moderate to occasionally strong onshore winds will occur through
Sunday. This long duration moderate fetch will elevate seas, push
water levels up along upper Texas coastlines and strengthen the rip
current. Moderate and - at times - strong onshore flow is expected
to continue for much of the week, with periods of caution flags
and possibly more small craft advisories possible.
