* WHAT…A moderate risk of sneaker waves is expected.

* WHERE…Beaches along Curry, Coos, and Douglas Counties. The
highest risks will be to west-facing beaches.

* WHEN…From Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon.

* IMPACTS…Sneaker waves can run up significantly farther on

pull them into the cold ocean waters, resulting in serious
injury or death. Waves may also lift driftwood logs, trapping
anyone caught underneath.
