...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM PST THIS
AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...A moderate risk of sneaker waves.

* WHERE...Beaches along Curry, Coos, and Douglas Counties. The
  highest risk will be to west-facing beaches.

* WHEN...Through this afternoon.

* IMPACTS...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.
