Marine
Issued at 220am CDT Fri Mar 28 2025

Today through Saturday...Moderate to strong pressure gradient between high pressure over the Gulf and lower pressure over NE Mexico and West Texas. A large fetch of east to southeast winds is driving high seas over the western Gulf impacting the lower Texas coast. Small Craft Advisories continue for all waters until 1pm with a possible extension for the Gulf waters if seas do not subside. Wind and seas begin to lower later this afternoon with better conditions tonight and Saturday as the pressure gradient weakens. Still a moderate wind and sea regime may allow for exercise caution for all or portions of the lower Texas coastal waters.

Saturday Night through Thursday...Elevated seas are expected Sunday, with potential for Small Craft Exercise Caution on the Gulf Waters. By Monday, conditions are expected to improve before seas pick up again on Wednesday. These elevated seas are expected to continue through Thursday and Small Craft Exercise Caution or Small Craft Advisories may be needed. Winds will be mostly southeasterly throughout the forecast period, except for Monday, when winds will temporarily take on a more easterly component.
