...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM SUNDAY TO 11 AM PDT
MONDAY...

* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement. A moderate risk of
  sneaker waves. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves
  of 20-25 feet expected.

* WHERE...All beaches of Douglas, Coos and Curry Counties.

* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Saturday
  morning. For the High Surf Advisory, from 11 AM Sunday to 11
  AM PDT Monday.

* 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 quickly
  pull them into the cold ocean waters, resulting in serious
  injury or death. Waves may also lift driftwood logs, trapping
  anyone caught underneath. Large breaking waves will create
  hazardous conditions along and within the surf zone, and could
  inundate beaches and low lying shorelines. Beach erosion is
  possible, and exposed infrastructure may be damaged.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The risk of sneaker waves will peak this
  evening, but seas will continue to build through Saturday
  morning and linger through the day Saturday. After brief
  improvement Saturday night, hazardous conditions due to high
  surf are expected late Sunday into early Monday with the highest
  waves peaking out Sunday night.
