* WHAT…A moderate risk of sneaker waves.
* WHERE…Douglas, Coos, and Curry County Beaches.
* WHEN…From this afternoon through Tuesday morning.
* 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.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…The risk will be highest on west facing
beaches, especially early Tuesday morning.
