The advisory affects small vessels operating in the coastal waters from Cape Falcon to Florence, Oregon, and extends up to 60 nautical miles offshore. Mariners should expect challenging conditions, including steep and choppy seas, which could pose risks to smaller boats. Gusty winds up to 25 knots may make navigation difficult, particularly for less experienced operators. The heightened wave activity, with seas reaching up to 7 feet, could also increase the risk of capsizing or swamping.
