A Gale Warning is in effect for the offshore Gulf waters starting early Wednesday morning for frequent gusts to gale-force and dangerous seas of 8-10 feet. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect mainly for the nearshore Gulf waters through Thursday. Strong winds can cause hazardous seas which could capsize of damage vessels and reduce visibility. Constant rolling and pitching makes standing on deck hazardous. Mariners should alter plans to avoid these hazardous boating conditions. Remain in port, seek safe harbor, alter course, and secure the vessel. For more information, visit our social media pages at
