.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...
Today will have a weak to moderate north to northeast flow over the South Texas waters.
Winds will gust high enough that small craft should exercise caution in the offshore waters this afternoon.
Tonight, winds will diminish to weak to moderate out of the northeast and continue into Thursday.
Swell periods will continue around 9 or 10 seconds through Thursday, due to Hurricane Milton, and may cause higher waves.
Swell heights of 1-3 feet along with swell periods of 10-12 seconds are expected Thursday night through Friday evening.
The good news is that winds will generally be weak under 15 knots through the end of the week which will help keep wave heights under Small Craft Advisory conditions (under 7 feet).
However, due to the increased energy from Hurricane Milton, brief periods of higher waves Thursday and Friday can't be ruled out which could lead to a brief issuance of a Small Craft Advisory.
