NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY EVENING...

* WHAT...Increased threat of sneaker waves expected.

* WHERE...Southwestern Humboldt and Coastal Mendocino Counties.

* WHEN...From late Friday night through Monday evening.

30 minutes of small waves before a sneaker wave strikes.  Avoid
rocks and jetties. Avoid steep beaches.  Stay much farther back
from the water and never turn your back on the ocean.
