Recording current meter data from a 43-day period in the summer of 1977 are used to investigate longshore coherence at three study sites along the central and lower Texas coast in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Mid-depth current data from inner shelf waters reveal an alternating longshore motion that is coherent with the longshore component of the wind stress. Current reversals occur over time scales of the order of 1-2 weeks, but there is a net displacement into the north-northeasterly quadrant at all three locations.
