PZZ300-051000- 253 PM PDT Tue Jun 4 2024 .SYNOPSIS FOR THE SOUTHERN OREGON COASTAL WATERS...Gusty south to southwest winds will diminish this afternoon as a weak front moves out of the region. There will be a brief period of improved conditions this evening, but steep seas will quickly return tonight as a late season moderate swell builds into the waters. A thermal trough will also develop late tonight, bringing gusty north winds by Wednesday afternoon. This will steepen seas south of Cape Blanco, resulting in very steep and hazardous seas. These conditions will persist through Thursday and isolated gales may be possible near Brookings on Thursday evening when the thermal trough peaks. Conditions should improve late Friday into the weekend. $$ PZZ350-051000- Coastal waters from Florence to Cape Blanco OR out 10 nm- 253 PM PDT Tue Jun 4 2024 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT... .TODAY...S wind 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt, easing to 10 to 15 kt.
