* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement on the beaches, sneaker
waves possible. For the High Surf Advisory on the beaches, large
waves, hazardous surf conditions, and sneaker waves. Breakers
up to 28 feet.
* WHERE...North and Central Coast of Oregon, and South

* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, through late Saturday
night. For the High Surf Advisory, from 4 AM to 10 PM PST

* IMPACTS...Destructive waves may wash over beaches, jetties, and
other structures unexpectedly. People can be swept off rocks and
jetties and drown while observing high surf. Minor beach erosion
may damage coastal properties and buildings. Higher than normal
water run-up is expected on beaches and low-lying shoreline due
to sneaker waves. Sneaker waves can suddenly knock people off
of their feet and quickly pull them into the frigid ocean which
may lead to serious injury or drowning.

the water, especially those who will be razor clamming. Keep
children and pets away from the surf zone. Keep off of
jetties, rocks and logs near the surf zone. If you see someone
swept into the sea do not swim in after them. Call 911 and
keep an eye on them until help arrives.
