  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 and pets.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
