Oregon marine forecasts: common questions
Is there a small craft advisory off Oregon right now?
2 of the 9 Oregon marine zones are under an active advisory or warning, Cape Blanco OR to Point St. George (small craft advisory) and Cape Blanco OR to Pt. St. George CA (10-60 nm) (small craft advisory). Each zone page shows the expiry time and the full text.
How windy is it on the Oregon coast right now?
Buoys off Oregon are reporting 1 to 14 knots, the strongest at Cape Blanco OR to Pt. St. George CA (10-60 nm). A knot is 1.15 mph, so 20 knots is about 23 mph. Wind measured offshore is usually stronger than the same wind felt in a harbor.
How rough are the seas off Oregon today?
The highest seas measured right now are 6 ft off Cape Blanco OR to Point St. George, out of the 9 of 9 Oregon zones with a wave-capable buoy nearby. Seas are significant wave height, the average of the highest third of the waves, so individual waves run noticeably higher than the figure.
Who issues the marine forecast for Oregon?
The National Weather Service, from its Medford,, OR office and its Portland, OR office. Each of the 9 zones on this page gets its own bulletin in a legacy teletype format, reproduced here in full underneath the charts and the live buoy readings.
