DOGAMI release - On July 29, 2025, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake occurred at 4:25 p.m. PDT, approximately 74 miles SE of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, at an estimated depth of 12.9 miles. The earthquake was determined by the U.S. Geological Survey to be a thrust event resulting in vertical deformation (uplift) of the sea floor, which has produced a tsunami. The Tsunami Warning Center of the National Weather Service has issued a Tsunami Advisory for the Oregon Coast that remains in effect. Tsunami forecasts indicate that wave amplitudes of 1 to 2 ft. may impact the Oregon coast, with the waves forecast to arrive at 11:35 p.m. at Port Orford on the southern Oregon Coast, and 11:55 p.m. in Newport (central coast) and Seaside (northern Oregon coast). People should stay away from open coast beaches, estuary mouths, marinas, and harbors. Dangerous currents are possible even without significant wave activity. Do not go to the beach to watch the waves. Remain in a safe location away from the coast until the advisory is lifted. Per the Oregon Department of Emergency Management, do not call 9-1-1 for general updates or tsunami information. Only call 9-1-1 for life-threatening emergencies. Contact local non-emergency numbers for inquiries. Additionally, sign up for OR-Alert for local emergency notifications and visit https://tsunami.gov for official tsunami updates and arrival times.
