The spectres normally stay on the island. If they were
sweeping the coast, it's because some higher level players
foolishly/inconsiderately tried to attack them, and instead of
gracefully dying when they realized they were outmatched, ran
for the zone with spectres in tow, thus unleashing them on
everyone else. I've "seen" this happen once in probably 40+
hours of playtime in Oasis. (I put "seen" in quotes because I
only heard it from the /shouts.)

The orcs tend to be on the mountain side of Oasis instead of
the ocean side anyway. You can fight them by fetching and
pulling them to within a few steps of the North Ro zone.
