* WHERE...North and Central Coast of Oregon, and South
  Washington Coast.

* WHEN...From late Wednesday night through late Sunday night.

  suddenly knock people off of their feet and quickly pull them
  into the frigid ocean which may lead to serious injury or
  drowning.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A Beach Hazards Statement is issued when
  sneaker waves create potentially life-threatening conditions in
  the surf zone. Caution should be used when in or near the water.
  Always keep an eye on the waves, and be especially watchful of
  children. Those participating in razor clam digs should exercise
  caution.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
