...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...

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

* WHERE...Douglas, Coos, and Curry County Beaches.

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

* 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.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The risk will be highest on west facing 
  beaches, especially early Tuesday morning. Though a 
  comparatively lesser risk, awareness is also warranted for 
  this afternoon and evening with a slight risk of sneaker waves.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Avoid climbing on rocks and jetties. Stay away from the ocean and
remain out of the water to avoid hazardous conditions.
