Breaking waves of 15 to 20 ft will coincide with higher than normal ocean levels, leading to an increased risk of beach erosion. Additionally, there is a minor risk of sneaker waves as these swell trains build into the waters. * WHERE...The beaches of Douglas, Coos and Curry Counties. * WHEN...From late Friday night through late Monday night. * IMPACTS...Beaches will be hazardous places to be at times this weekend and into next week, and jetties and rocks are not safe places to be. Beach erosion is possible. Sneaker waves can run up significantly farther on beaches than normal, including over rocks and jetties. These waves can suddenly knock people off of their feet and quickly pull them into the cold ocean waters, resulting in serious injury or death. Waves may also lift driftwood logs, trapping anyone caught underneath. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Confidence is low regarding the sneaker threat due to wind wave interference likely limiting, but not completely negating the risk. * View the hazard area in detail at https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?wfo=mfr PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Avoid climbing on rocks and jetties. Stay away from the ocean and remain out of the water to avoid hazardous conditions. && $$ Visit us at https://www.weather.gov/Medford
