24 Aug 2017 / Freeport, United States
The Coast Guard Captain of the Port has set condition X-ray for Port Freeport, in anticipation of gale force winds associated with Tropical Depression Harvey possible within 48 hours.
Brazos Pilots have moved one pilot boat to safe harbor, but continue to operate the other working under normal operations.
Conditions are expected to continue to deteriorate to the point where pilot transport is no longer an option as early as this afternoon (24 August). Harvey has the potential to develop into a tropical storm or hurricane affecting the Texas coastline tomorrow.
Higher swell could begin to show today with seas building throughout the day, and the onset of seas greater than 7 feet within 20 NM (higher offshore) tonight.
