Updated 225am Wednesday, April 24, 2024...Seas will remain low today and into Thursday morning, with light northerly winds continuing in a period of calm weather.

A weak front will approach the area late Thursday morning, bringing showers and southerly winds with gusts up to 30 kts over waters north of Gold Beach. Wind-built steep seas are expected in these waters, and a Small Craft Advisory will be in place on Thursday from 11am through 11pm to highlight these conditions.

Winds will calm on Friday, but westerly swell behind Thursday's front could maintain steep seas. While there's moderate confidence in these general conditions, the timing and areas affected will benefit from additional information. Current guidance still suggests very low chances (10-20%) of seas exceeding 9 feet in this period, so more hazardous conditions are not expected.

Active weather looks to continue through the weekend and into next week, with a weak front approaching the Oregon coast on Saturday afternoon and a low pressure system settling near the Canadian coast late Monday bringing westerly winds and swell. Current outcomes suggest the Saturday system will be unimpactful but more chaotic conditions are possible on Monday evening. -TAD
