...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM PDT THIS

EVENING...

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 5 PM SATURDAY TO 5 AM PDT

SUNDAY...



* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves 19 to 22

  ft. For the Beach Hazards Statement, increased threat of 

  sneaker waves expected.



* WHERE...Mendocino Coast County.



* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, from 5 PM Saturday to 5 AM 

  PDT Sunday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, until 8 PM PDT 

  this evening. .



* IMPACTS...Dangerous surf conditions and localized beach 

  erosion. Beachcombing is highly discouraged! Large, unexpected 

  waves can sweep across the beach without warning, sweeping 

  people into the sea from rocks, jetties, and beaches. These 

  sneaker waves can also move large objects such as logs, 

  crushing anyone caught underneath.





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.



Don't be fooled by an ocean that looks calm.  There can be

30 minutes of small waves before a sneaker wave strikes.  Avoid

rocks and jetties. Avoid steep beaches.  Stay much farther back

from the water and never turn your back on the ocean.
