...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH
MONDAY EVENING...

* WHAT...Increased threat of sneaker waves expected.

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

* WHEN...From Sunday evening through Monday evening.

* 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.
