...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT MONDAY...

* WHAT...Sneaker waves possible.

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

* WHEN...From Monday morning through Monday afternoon.

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

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Keep children and pets close and away from the surf zone. Keep 
off of jetties, rocks and logs near the surf zone. If you see 
someone swept into the sea do not swim in after them. Call 911 and
keep an eye on them until help arrives.

Keep away from large logs on the beach. Sneaker waves can run up 
on the beach lifting or rolling these extremely heavy logs. People
have been injured and killed after being caught under these logs 
from sneaker wave action.
