The Climate Prediction Center's 90-day temperature outlook for southern Oregon and northern California for the November 1998 through January 1999 period calls for near normal median temperatures across the entire area. The precipitation outlook for the same period is for above normal precipitation totals for all of northern California and southern Oregon, especially near the Oregon coast, southwest Oregon, and western Siskiyou county. The stations are operated by the National Weather Service. The reports include the latest wind direction, speed, gust, air temperature, water temperature, and sea level pressure. Buoy reports also provide details on significant wave height, swells, and wind wave heights.
Some buoys also give wave direction.
