...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH
TUESDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Increased threat of sneaker waves expected. A very long
  period swell rapidly building Monday will make surf on area
  beaches particularly high and unexpected even if seas otherwise
  seem calm.

* WHERE...Coastal Del Norte, Northern Humboldt Coast, Southwestern
  Humboldt and Mendocino Coasts.

* WHEN...From Monday morning through Tuesday morning. .

* 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.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Don`t be fooled by an ocean that looks calm.  There can be
30 minutes of small waves before a sneaker wave strikes.  Avoid
rocks and jetties. Avoid steep beaches.  Stay much farther back
from the water and never turn your back on the ocean.
