* WHAT…A moderate risk of sneaker waves is expected.
* WHERE…All beaches and shorelines of Douglas, Coos, and Curry
counties.
* WHEN…From Saturday evening through Sunday 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.
