GMZ400-260700- 1216 PM CST Thu Dec 25 2025 .Synopsis for Lower Atchafalaya River LA to High Island TX out 60 NM including Sabine and Calcasieu Lakes and Vermilion and Cote Blanche Bays... A light onshore flow will prevail through Sunday afternoon, keeping a daily risk of sea fog in the forecast. Due to ongoing dense marine fog and elevated probabilities of fog persisting, the DF.Y was extended into noon tomorrow. Brief periods of increased visibilities will be possible for all marine zones this afternoon, however. A strong offshore flow is expected in the wake of a cold front forecast to push through the coastal waters late Sunday night into early Monday. This will assist with clearing the fog, however with elevated offshore flow and gusts predicted, a SC.Y will be likely and a GL.A may become necessary. $$ Expires:202512260730;;212386 FZUS54 KHGX 251833 CWFHGX Coastal Waters Forecast for Texas National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1233 PM CST Thu Dec 25 2025 Upper Texas coastal waters from High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out 60 nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Areas of sea fog will continue to impact our waters this afternoon. Sea fog coverage should initially decrease early this afternoon, before gradually becoming more widespread by either later this afternoon or evening. The general pattern will favor periods of dense fog through this weekend, especially at night and during the morning. However, directional shifts in the winds may result in longer breaks in the fog on Friday and the weekend. A strong cold front pushes offshore late Sunday night, bringing strong winds and building seas in its wake. The chance of gale force wind gusts continues to increase, particularly over the Gulf. Sustained gales cannot be ruled out in the offshore waters. $$Texas Coastal Marine Forecast
