Winds and seas just barely reach the lower end of small craft advisory levels, highest south of Cape Blanco through tonight, but expanding northward to around Cape Arago on Saturday, and then more over the outer waters late Saturday night into Sunday as the thermal trough moves inland. Even so, gusty north winds are likely to develop again both Monday and Tuesday afternoons with steep seas possible again closer to shore. $$ PZZ350-031600- Coastal waters from Florence to Cape Blanco OR out 10 nm- 833 PM PDT Fri Oct 2 2026 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM PDT SATURDAY THROUGH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT... .REST OF TONIGHT...N wind 10 to 15 kt.
