Coastal Waters Forecast for Texas

National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX

1257 AM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026



Upper Texas coastal waters from High Island to the Matagorda Ship

Channel out 60 nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda

Bays.



Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest

1/3 of the waves...along with the occasional height of the

.Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM

including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.



A remnant, diffuse outflow boundary from Tuesday night's storms

could provide somewhat of a focus for isolated storm development 

early this morning in the Galveston Bay area. Otherwise, a more 

typical summertime pattern will persist into Thursday with the 

seabreeze the primary driver for isolated to scattered

precipitation. Rain chances increase late Thursday night and into

the weekend as deeper moisture flows into the region. Onshore 

flow will prevail through the period, slightly increasing Thursday

and Friday along with a corresponding bump in the seas into the 

3-4ft range.
