.A low pressure system in the western Gulf of Mexico will move north leading to strengthening easterly winds across the Upper Texas coast. This persistent easterly flow has developed a large fetch of easterly swells that will run up the beach causing widespread beach flooding. These winds will serve to further elevate tides across the area... which were already running one foot above astronomical values.
The highest tide levels are expected to occur during high tide tonight and early Monday morning. The main impacts will be beach beach flooding and possibly other lower lying coastal roads leading to hazardous travel conditions.
Location high tide times expected water Max Morgans Point... Mon 9:33 am. 3.7 feet. Clear Lake entrance... Mon 5:17 am. 3.5 feet. Eagle Point... Mon 3:06 am. 3.5 feet. Freeport... sun 10:28 PM. 4.4 feet. Mon 10:53 PM. 2.1 feet. Port O Connor... Mon 5:02 am. 3.4 feet.
Note: tide levels are referenced from mean lower low water
Areas near beach and along the shore may be flooded. Do not venture into the water as tidal currents may be strong.
