A surface high starts filtering into the area on Tuesday and light winds and calmer seas return with it. $$ GMZ530-092300- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 437 AM CST Sun Nov 9 2025 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM NOON CST TODAY THROUGH MONDAY EVENING... .TODAY...Northwest winds 10 to 15 knots, becoming north 15 to 20 knots this afternoon.
