* IMPACTS...For the Beach Hazards Statement, waves can run up
  significantly farther on a beach than normal, including over
  rocks and jetties. Sneaker waves can suddenly knock beachgoers
  off if their feet and quickly pull them into the frigid ocean
  which may lead to serious injury or drowning.

  For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor flooding is possible in
  low lying areas near bays, sloughs, and the lower reaches of
  the coastal rivers. This is due to total tide of up to 11.3
  feet at Toke Point resulting in tide up to one foot above
  ground level during high tide, total tide of up to 10.6 feet
  at Tongue Point resulting in tide up to one foot above ground
  level

* 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 additionally exercise caution.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Advisory means that tidal overflow flooding is
expected. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert
for rising water, and take appropriate action to protect life and
property.

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
