When does this green water I hear of get close to shore? Granted I've only been to Galveston a handful of times, but every time I've been its been chocolate milk and full of seaweed.

Green water generally hits beach with Southeast winds, more or less. Incoming tide helps too. Southwest winds are the enemy of green water.

Sandy water is good to fish too. As long as you can take the waves, you have a shot at catching trout while wading the surf. You can also wade fish with seaweed. You just have to pick your casting targets and hit them. I've had great days when the sargassum weed is thick.

I really don't always like green water. If it's been that way for a couple of days, often the Spanish mackerel and bluefish take over the surf.
