.Synopsis for Lower Atchafalaya River LA to High Island TX out
60 NM including Sabine and Calcasieu Lakes and Vermilion and Cote
Blanche Bays...

Remnant surface trough will help bring light onshore winds today
along with low seas. Winds will become light to modest from the
northeast by Wednesday as weak surface high pressure ridging across
the Gulf coast states will build into the coastal waters. The
offshore winds along with seas will increase by Thursday as a cold
front moves into the coastal waters. Offshore winds will remain
elevated through the end of the week.
