AVIATION...12/12Z TAFs
Through this morning expect areas low level clouds, with MVFR ceilings, east of the Cascades and areas of valley fog, with IFR/LIFR conditions, west of the Cascades and along the coast, including at Roseburg and North Bend. These lower ceilings will improve to VFR by late Thursday morning or early Thursday afternoon. A similar return of IFR/LIFR is expected late Thursday evening into Friday morning, especially for valleys west of the Cascades and along the coast.
MARINE...Updated 100 AM PST Thursday, February 12, 2026
Conditions will continue to gradually improve as winds ease and seas lower today. Seas are expected to remain below advisory levels through early Thursday evening. Then a moderate long period, west-northwest swell will bring the return of steep elevated seas Thursday night through Saturday morning.
A pattern change looks to bring active weather late Friday into the weekend with increasingly stronger disturbances expected early next week. Periods of gusty winds are likely but gale conditions are not expected. Those winds and incoming swell could keep steep seas through Wednesday. Please stay tuned to future forecasts for the most recent expectation of sea state changes through this active period.
BEACH HAZARDS
Updated 100 AM PST Thursday, February 12, 2026...An incoming west to northwest long period swell will produce a moderate risk for sneaker waves along the southern Oregon coast from late Thursday night into Friday afternoon.
Sneaker waves can run up significantly farther up beaches than normal, including over rocks and jetties. These waves can suddenly knock people off of their feet and sweep them into the cold open waters of the Pacific Ocean. The waves can also move logs or other objects which could crush or trap anyone caught underneath.
