Marine Weather Statement
Issued: 6:27 AM Feb. 11, 2026 – National Weather Service
...STORM FORCE CONDITIONS BECOMING MORE LIKELY OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA AND NEAR SHORE WATERS OF SOUTHEAST ALASKA THURSDAY... Forecasters are closely watching a developing storm force low that will be located near fifty six north latitude and one forty five west longitude early Thursday morning, moving quickly into the northeastern Gulf of Alaska by Friday morning. South to southwesterly winds at storm force with gusts potentially to hurricane force are becoming more probable in the eastern Gulf of Alaska on Thursday. These winds will generate large southwesterly seas, reaching 35 ft to potentially 40 ft Thursday over the eastern Gulf of Alaska and near shore waters of southeast Alaska. Mariners should make ready for storm force conditions from the southwest by Thursday. Wind and seas begin to diminish Friday as the low begins to weaken over the far northeastern Gulf of Alaska.
