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

Fetch of moderate onshore winds will maintain somewhat elevated seas
for the next several days. Mariners should note high flows from area
rivers, creeks and streams will lead to above normal water levels and
strong currents in the bays and ICWW well into midweek and can make
navigation difficult. There is only a slight chance of rain, if any,
expected into midweek. Onshore flow should prevail until the next
cold front pushes off the coast Thursday night.
