PORTLAND, Ore. — If you’re planning to be on the beach at the Oregon Coast on Sunday, you’ll want to be extra careful.
The National Weather Service said there could be high surf and sneaker waves Sunday along the North Oregon Coast and South Washington Coast. These potentially dangerous conditions are expected between 10 a.m. Sunday and 4 a.m. Monday
"Stay back from the waves and avoid climbing on rocks, jetties or logs," the weather service warned.
Sneaker waves can knock a person off their feet and sweep them out into the ocean. They can also lift large logs and rocks and bring them down on people.
