* WHAT…A high risk of sneaker waves is expected today with a
moderate risk tonight into Monday afternoon.
* WHERE…Beaches along Curry, Coos, and Douglas Counties. The
highest risks will be to west-facing beaches.
* WHEN…Through Monday afternoon.
* IMPACTS…Sneaker waves can run up significantly farther on
beaches than normal, including over rocks and jetties. These
waves can suddenly knock people off of their feet and quickly
pull them into the cold ocean waters, resulting in serious
injury or death. Waves may also lift driftwood logs, trapping
anyone caught underneath.
