High Surf Advisory Statement as of 2:39 am PST on November 8, 2009

... High surf advisory remains in effect until 5 PM PST this
afternoon for the north Oregon coast... central Oregon coast... and
South Washington coast...

A high surf advisory remains in effect until 5 PM PST this
afternoon for the north Oregon coast... central Oregon coast... and
South Washington coast.

Large swell generated by a storm in the Gulf of Alaska is moving
through the waters off the Pacific northwest coast with 17 to 20 foot
seas being reported by the Washington and Oregon coastal buoys.
These seas have come down from their earlier peak of 24 to 27 feet.

Though the swell has come down a bit... it is still powerful
enough to generate very energetic waves in the surf zone... which
will pummel the coast with large breakers as they move onshore.
Heavy debris such as logs will be thrown around by the large
waves... making the surf zone especially hazardous.

Hazards from high surf conditions along the shoreline will be
enhanced during the high tides around 3 to 4 PM in the afternoon.
The high tide during this time period will cause the large waves
to impact higher portions of the beaches than at other times of
the day.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A high surf advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area... producing rip currents and localized beach
erosion. It can be very dangerous to venture near the coast under
high surf conditions. People have been swept off rocks and
jetties and drown while observing high surf. Stay well back from
the Waters Edge and be alert for the exceptionally high wave.
