San Luis Pass is a passage of water on the Texas Gulf Coast of the United States. It connects the sheltered waters of West Bay to the open Gulf of Mexico between Galveston Island and San Luis Island. Fishermen and swimmers have been killed in the Pass' treacherous waters. The Gulf of Mexico-West Bay pass transitions vast volumes of seawater. The San Luis Pass physical oceanography is essentially contributed to the aggressive Gulf Stream and loop current, fluctuating tides in marginal sea, and marine sediment. The marginal sea's ocean circulation is periodically redefining the coastal continental shelf subsequently reciprocating uncertainties of continental margin at Follet's Island and West Galveston Island.
