* WHAT...Sneaker waves possible.

* WHERE...North and Central Coast of Oregon, and South
Washington Coast.

* WHEN...From late Thursday night 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.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Caution should be used when in or near
the water, especially those who will be razor clamming. Keep
children and pets away from the surf zone. Keep off of
jetties, rocks and logs near the surf zone. If you see someone
swept into the sea do not swim in after them. Call 911 and
keep an eye on them until help arrives.

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
