Coastal Waters Forecast for Virginia

National Weather Service Wakefield VA

700 AM EDT Fri Oct 16 2026



Virginia Portion of the Chesapeake Bay, Currituck Sound and

Atlantic Coastal Waters from Fenwick Island DE to Currituck Beach

Light NC out 60 nautical miles



ANZ600-170000-

700 AM EDT Fri Oct 16 2026



.Synopsis for Fenwick Island DE to Currituck Beach Light NC out 60 

nautical miles including Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay, 

Currituck Sound and portions of the James, York, and Rappahannock 

Rivers...



A frontal boundary south of the waters will move back north this 

morning. Meanwhile, an area of low pressure over the Great Lakes 

will move northeast into northern New England by this evening. 

The associated cold front will pass across the waters tonight, 

with an area of strong high pressure building in behind it.

Additionally, most model guidance shows the potential for a 

coastal low to develop along the cold front. This low has the

potential to linger off the Southeast coast well into next week,

resulting in a prolong period of elevated winds and seas. Gale

Warnings have been issued for a large portion of the local waters

to account for the first part of the surge through Sunday night.

Coastal Waters Forecast for Texas

National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX

604 AM CDT Fri Oct 16 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

604 AM CDT Fri Oct 16 2026



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

including Galveston and Matagorda Bays. 



Look for winds to shift to the north prior to sunrise as a front 

begins pushing into the coastal waters. Winds will initially be 

somewhat light, but steadily increase as the morning and 

afternoon progresses. Gale conditions are likely in the waters 

west of Freeport toward mid morning...expanding eastward toward 

the Galveston area later today. Highest winds will likely be this 

evening and tonight as cooler air moves over the warmer shelf 

waters. A Gale Warning is in effect today into Saturday. Winds and

seas will begin slowly trending downward later Saturday 

afternoon, but still remain elevated offshore into early Sunday. 

Winds will veer to the east early next week as high pressure 

tracks east of the region.
