Coastal waters from Cape Shoalwater Washington to Florence Oregon
and westward 60 NM

PZZ200-032300-
251 PM PST Sun Nov 2 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR THE SOUTHERN WASHINGTON AND NORTHERN OREGON COAST...
High pressure over the waters keeps winds calmer today before a
thermal trough forming along the coast increases winds and turns
them northerly tonight into Monday. Seas remain steep with
heights in the low teens and a period around 13 to 14 seconds into
Tuesday. A compact low pressure system will approach the southern
waters on Monday, bringing brief increased winds late Monday from
Cape Foulweather to Florence OR. Additionally, a pair of strong
systems is expected to impact the region late Tuesday through
early Friday, supporting mainly wind driven seas in the mid to
upper teens. Exact details remain unclear at this time.
