...NEXT WIND SURGE ARRIVING WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS ...



Breezes across all of the coastal waters have slackened this

afternoon as we have entered a lull between wind surges. However, 

the next wind surge will be entering the southeast Gulf waters here 

within the next 1-2 hours and then overspread the remaining waters.

Mariners should prepare for a return to strong to near-gale breezes

this afternoon. Further freshening of breezes is expected closer to

sunset, reaching gale-force.
