Large breaking waves along the coast.
Where
Northern Washington Coast and Grays Harbor County Coast zones.
When
Until 4 PM PST this afternoon.
Impacts
Large breaking waves can knock people off their feet, move driftwood and debris, and crash over rocks and jetties. People can be injured or drown while observing the ocean. Localized beach and coastal erosion is expected.
Additional details
Significant log and debris pile-up on the beaches and jetties from the high surf last weekend will pose additional threats to those on the beaches and will exacerbate coastal erosion.
