...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 10 PM SUNDAY TO 7 AM PST
MONDAY...
* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 20 to
24 feet. For the Beach Hazards Statement, hazardous conditions
as high and infrequent wave run-ups from a very long period
swell will likely result in sneaker waves.
* WHERE...All area beaches along the southern Oregon Coast,
including the beaches of Coos, Curry and Douglas Counties.
* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, from 10 PM Sunday to 7 AM
PST Monday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, from late tonight
through Sunday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Large breaking waves will create hazardous conditions
within the surf zone, and could inundate beaches and low lying
shorelines. Even during calm conditions, sneaker waves can sweep
up the beach without warning and knock unsuspecting people over
and pull them out to sea. Shock and hypothermia can occur
quickly. Logs and other debris can be lifted and carried by
these waves, crushing or entrapping victims.
* View the hazard area in detail at
https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mfr/HAZARD
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Stay away from the surf zone and off of jetties. Area beaches may
become hazardous due to dangerous surf conditions.

Coastal Hazard Message
National Weather Service San Francisco CA
327 AM PST Sat Jan 16 2021
...Moderate, long period northwest swell resulting in hazardous
conditions from coastal Sonoma County to coastal Monterey
County...
.A moderate, long period northwest swell will result in hazardous
conditions in the surf zone through this evening. Swell heights
are expected to build today with breaking waves of 15 to 17 feet
(locally up to 20 feet at favored breakpoints) expected along
west to northwest facing beaches. As a result, a High Surf
Advisory is in effect through Saturday evening for west and
northwest facing beaches while a Beach Hazard Statement has been
issued for the northern Monterey Bay including Santa Cruz. A
second, larger long period west to northwest swell will arrive
Sunday and Monday. Continued vigilance is advised.

San Francisco Peninsula Coast-
Southern Monterey Bay and Big Sur Coast-
327 AM PST Sat Jan 16 2021
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM PST THIS
EVENING...
* WHAT...Breaking waves of 15 to 17 feet (locally up to 20 feet
at favored breakpoints) can be expected along west to northwest
facing beaches.
* WHERE...Coastal North Bay Including Point Reyes National
Seashore, Southern Monterey Bay and Big Sur Coast, San
Francisco Peninsula Coast and San Francisco.
* WHEN...Until 7 PM PST Saturday.
* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and
localized beach erosion. Expect localized beach erosion.
People are strongly urged to remain well back from the ocean
as these types of events often result in an increase in cold
water rescues and the loss of life.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...While these waves are not as large as our
previous events in the most recent days, unseasonable warm
temperatures this holiday weekend will likely attract more
people to the coast. Individuals should be reminded that our
coastline and the cold Pacific waters remain dangerous as
these larger than normal waves impact the coast. Extreme
caution is advised when visiting area beaches.
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. Use extra caution near the surf zone as these large
waves will be capable of sweeping people into the frigid and
turbulent ocean water. Cold water shock may cause cardiac arrest,
and it also can cause an involuntary gasp reflex causing
drowning, even for a good swimmer. The surf zone will be
dangerous due to strong currents and powerful breaking waves.
