Beach Hazards Statement

* WHAT...A moderate risk for sneaker waves is expected. A building west-northwest long period swell is expected to combine with lowering west-northwest swell and a south swell.

* WHERE...The beaches of Douglas, Coos, and Curry counties.

* WHEN...From Sunday evening 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 sweep them into the ocean. The waves can also move logs or other objects which could crush or trap anyone caught underneath.
