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

* 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 8am
  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.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Avoid climbing on rocks and jetties. Stay away from the ocean and
remain out of the water to avoid hazardous conditions.
