.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

A moderate to fresh east-northeasterly breeze (BF 4-5) will
persist through Sunday morning. This uptick in winds will be
accompanied by elevated wave heights, with seas of 4-6 feet
expected through the overnight hours, creating SCEC and SCA
conditions. The SCA for the open waters generally north of Port
Aransas will continue until 1AM Sunday. The easterly wind
component, elevated seas, and long swell periods will continue to
lead to a HIGH rip current risk. With a full moon on October 6th,
astronomical high tides combined with the above mentioned features
have resulted in minor coastal flooding as well, with water
levels already reaching the dunes. Winds will decrease to a gentle
to moderate breeze (BF 3-4) Sunday morning and shift back to an
east-southeasterly flow. Low (20-30%) rain and thunderstorm
chances remain in the forecast through Monday before increasing
to low to moderate (20-50%) rain chances beginning Tuesday into
the remainder of the work week.
