South winds increase again tonight into Thursday morning as a cold front passes through the region.

Conditions improve late Friday, but northerly winds return and persist into early next week. $$ PZZ350-271100- Coastal waters from Florence to Cape Blanco OR out 10 nm- 201 PM PST Wed Nov 26 2025 ...HAZARDOUS SEAS WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM PST THURSDAY THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT... .TONIGHT...S wind 10 to 15 kt, rising to 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 35 kt.
