• The National Weather Service in Portland, Oregon, has issued a detailed marine forecast for the coastal waters from Cape Shoalwater, Washington, to Florence, Oregon, extending 60 nautical miles offshore.
• As of 1:10 PM PDT on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, weak low pressure is bringing light southerly winds to the region.

Impact & Risks

The forecast indicates relatively calm conditions for the next few days, with winds generally staying below 15 knots and seas ranging from 3 to 9 feet. However, mariners should prepare for increasing wave heights starting Sunday, with a potential for seas to exceed 15 feet by Monday. Patchy fog is expected during the mornings and evenings, which could reduce visibility and pose navigation challenges. Rain is also likely over the weekend and early next week, further complicating marine activities.
