  Coast and Southwestern Humboldt Counties.

* WHEN...Until 11 PM PDT this evening.. .

* IMPACTS...Breaking waves can sweep people off jetties and 
  docks, and into dangerous seas. Life-threatening surfing 
  conditions and significant beach erosion can be expected.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Large breaking waves along the coast will lead to increased wave
run-up on beaches with waves topping and washing over large rocks
and jetties. These large waves can be erratic and unpredictable.
Use extra caution near the surf zone as these large waves will be
capable of sweeping people into the frigid and turbulent ocean
water. Mariners traversing the bar are urged to exercise extreme
caution or stay in port until the threat subsides. Please contact
the U.S. Coast Guard for information regarding harbor and bar
closures.
