Details:
* WHAT...High risk of sneaker waves expected. * WHERE...All beaches of Douglas, Coos, and Curry Counties. * WHEN...From Monday morning 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 sweep them into the ocean. The waves can also move logs or other objects which could crush or trap anyone caught underneath. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...As this long period swell arrives early Monday, it could coincide with the high tide expected around 8 am PST Monday. While sneaker waves can occur at any time, the greatest risk is on an incoming tide. Please be aware of the tides if venturing out onto the beaches. * View the hazard area in detail at https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?wfo=mfr Information: Avoid climbing on rocks and jetties. Stay away from the ocean and remain out of the water to avoid hazardous conditions. |
