There is the potential of sneaker waves along the Southern Oregon and Northern California coast on Tuesday and Wednesday. Do not let the ocean fool you. Long-period waves can generate lulls of wave activity making the ocean look deceivingly calm and draw people closer to the water.
These lulls end with a large set of breaking waves that will wash much farther up beaches, possibly knocking you down. Plan on keeping a safe distance from the surf on Tuesday and Wednesday.
