Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Bertsch-Oceanview, CA

AVIATION
14/18z TAFs...Areas of low stratus and fog are present in valleys west of the Cascades, resulting in IFR/LIFR conditions at Medford, Grants Pass, Roseburg, and Montague. These conditions will persist through 18-20z. Some areas, such as Medford and Grants Pass may see little or no clearing, and just see ceilings lift higher late in the afternoon to IFR/MVFR and persist into the evening.

Along the coast and just offshore, MVFR and local IFR ceilings should persist for most of the afternoon, then a weak front should allow ceilings to lift and improve to VFR towards 0z, but conditions could improve an hour or two earlier than whats in the North Bend TAF. Tonight, an approaching front will result in ceilings lowering again to MVFR and occasional IFR along with a brief reduction in visibility. -Petrucelli



MARINE
Updated 800 AM PST Sunday, December 14, 2025...Conditions will deteriorate through today as a front approaches the region.
Steep seas are already being observed at buoys 15 and 229 due to increasing south winds, so have adjusted the start time of the Small Craft Advisory this morning. Steep seas will become more widespread by this afternoon, then worsening conditions are expected overnight into Monday as low pressure deepens over the north Pacific and another cold front swings through the waters. This front is expected to bring southerly gales to areas north of Cape Blanco and beyond 5 nm from shore late tonight through Monday afternoon with very steep and hazardous seas expected for all other areas. Winds ease Monday afternoon, but westerly swell builds (10-12 ft @ 12 seconds) behind the front which will maintain steep seas into mid-week. Additional frontal systems will maintain active weather through the week with gales possible again on Tuesday and Thursday, along with continued steep to, at times, very steep and hazardous seas. /BR-y
