A small craft advisory will take effect at midnight Sunday, November 8, for coastal waters from Cameron, Louisiana, to High Island, Texas, extending up to 60 nautical miles offshore. It is scheduled to continue until noon CST Sunday, according to the National Weather Service in Lake Charles.
Forecasters expect northeast winds of 15 to 20 knots, with gusts up to 25 knots. The Weather Service says conditions will be hazardous for small craft.
The advisory covers two marine forecast zones: the waters from shore out to 20 nautical miles and the waters from 20 to 60 nautical miles offshore along that stretch of coast. It does not apply to all of Louisiana's coastal waters.
The Lake Charles office issued the advisory at 12:44 p.m. CST Saturday, November 7. It urges inexperienced mariners, particularly those in smaller vessels, to avoid navigating in hazardous conditions. Boaters planning an overnight or Sunday morning trip should check the latest National Weather Service marine forecast and advisory before heading out.
