Sneaker Waves Expected Along The Oregon Coast
ASTORIA, Ore. — The National Weather Service is warning to be extra careful out on Oregon beaches as sneaker waves are possible the next couple of days.
“It’s not the height of the waves. It’s the power of the waves that is dangerous.” The ocean can look calm, but it can fool you. The waves can rush up the beach and knock you down and pull you into the option,” said Meteorologist Miles Hega.
There is a high threat for sneaker waves along the Oregon coast Tuesday through Wednesday night, something to keep in mind if you will be on the beach this week! #orwx pic.twitter.com/1oFy27jr7T

The entire Oregon coast is subject to sneaker wave activity for the next few days. Remember not to turn your back on the water and stay further away from logs sitting on the sand.
