Marine
Updated 215am Thursday, April 25, 2024...Seas remain calm ahead of a weak front that will arrive this morning. Guidance suggests enough fresh swell to bring steep seas to all waters will precede the front, with elevated southerly winds arriving later this morning and continuing into the evening. There will be 70-100% chances of widespread showers over marine waters through Friday evening, but thunderstorms are not expected. An existing Small Craft Advisory in place from today at 5am through Saturday at 2am has been expanded to cover all marine waters.

There are some small chances of more chaotic conditions during the Small Craft hazard. The combination of fresh swell and gusty winds as the front approaches may build occasional isolated areas of very steep seas in waters north of Cape Blanco through Friday morning. Additionally, wind gusts of 30 to 35 kts are forecast north of Cape Blanco through this evening. Probabilistic guidance suggests a 10% chances of wind gusts nearing gale strength over inner waters north of Bandon this afternoon. There is not enough confidence in a steady area or exact timing for these higher level of hazards, but the possibility is worth acknowledging.

Seas are expected to calm during the day Saturday before active weather returns on Sunday and looks to continue into next week as a series of fronts and systems affect the area. Longer term guidance suggests only occasional 10-40% chances of total seas exceeding 9 feet through next week, with the 40% chances associated with a low pressure system settling near the Canadian coast on Tuesday. Future further steep seas look likely at times during next week, but more chaotic conditions are not expected. -TAD
