At 2:39 p.m. on Monday, the NWS issued an updated high surf warning for Oregon’s Central Coast, Clatsop County Coast, and Tillamook County Coast, which was in force until 10 p.m.
“Dangerous surf conditions and big waves. According to the weather service, “breakers up to 30 feet” are likely. “There is a high threat for sneaker waves.”
“Unexpectedly, destructive waves might sweep over jetties, beaches, and other infrastructure. While watching heavy surf, people can get washed off rocks and jetties and drown. In the past, similar wave conditions have caused beach erosion and damage to structures and properties along the coast. The weather service says, “High water run-up is expected on beaches and low-lying shoreline.” “When there is a high surf warning, beaches will be impacted by rip currents, sneaker waves, and beach erosion. Keep a considerable distance from the water’s edge and keep an eye out for particularly large waves. Avoid going near big logs on the beach. Logs can be lifted or rolled by water running up on the beach, which might kill or seriously hurt anyone in their path.
