Beach Hazards Statement issued December 9 at 2:27AM PST until December 10 at 4:00PM PST by NWS Medford OR
* WHAT...A moderate risk of sneaker waves is expected. * WHERE...The beaches and shorelines of Curry, Coos, and Douglas counties. * WHEN...From Monday evening through Tuesday 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. * View the hazard area in detail at https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?wfo=mfr
Beach Hazards Statement issued December 7 at 1:24PM PST until December 8 at 10:00PM PST by NWS Portland OR
* WHAT...Sneaker waves possible on the beaches. * WHERE...North and Central Coast of Oregon, and South Washington Coast. * WHEN...From late tonight through Sunday evening. * IMPACTS...Waves can run up significantly farther on a beach than normal, including over rocks and jetties. 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.

Beach Hazards Statement issued December 6 at 3:04AM EST until December 7 at 3:00AM EST by NWS Melbourne FL
* WHAT...A strong, southward-flowing longshore current is forecast to develop at all central Florida Atlantic beaches today, along with a moderate risk for dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...Coastal Volusia, Coastal Brevard, Coastal Indian River, Coastal Saint Lucie, and Coastal Martin counties. * WHEN...Through late tonight. * IMPACTS...The southward-flowing current could pull swimmers into deeper water, making them more susceptible to dangerous rip currents. This will also generate strong rip currents near piers, jetties, and reefs.
Intensified Coastal Hazards from Climate Change on U.S. Southeast Coast
While previous research has largely focused on flooding, the new study highlights additional threats such as groundwater hazards, land subsidence, and beach erosion. These hazards, often underappreciated in climate discussions, will be amplified by sea levels projected to rise by one meter over the next century. The study estimates that up to 70% of coastal residents and $1 trillion in property could face challenges from shallow and emerging groundwater. This risk is 15 times greater than the exposure to daily tidal flooding alone. Figure a, Coastal flooding (no storm), shallow groundwater exposure and erosion (unimpeded model case) for one meter

* WHAT...Increased threat of sneaker waves. * WHERE...All local beaches in Del Norte, Humboldt, and Mendocino Counties. * WHEN...Through Monday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Large, unexpected waves can sweep across the beach without warning, sweeping people into the sea from rocks, jetties, and beaches. These sneaker waves can also move large objects such as logs, crushing anyone caught underneath.
