PORTLAND — The National Weather Service says dangerous sneaker waves are possible this weekend on the coast of Oregon and Southwest Washington.
Waves as high as 18 feet could unexpectedly reach farther up the beach than expected or knock people off jetties and rocks.
The weather service says people at the beach shouldn’t turn their back on the surf.

No, Never.
But how many will get out there to grab fish swept in?
Is this how Nike imports its "made in Asia" merchandise?
...and watch out for those sneakers and tennis shoes in those waves - they can be painful.

A flood of shoes??
The long seasonal drought might start to end next week. We’ve had only 3 inches of rain this year in southeastern WA.
Oh, you don’t want to know about the Centex drought. Every city all around us is out of drought, storms are still dodging us.
We need 40” just to refill our lakes and aquifers.
I live in Tx as well and live on a lake...or what used to be a lake. It is drying up before my eyes.
If any of those are new, it will bring the EBT crowd out in force!
I learned that the hard way going out to Hatteras. Rough as the surf is there, you’re not going to see an 18 footer outside of a hurricane.
Sneaker waves are the bain of sand castle builders or is that bane.
Funny, or not so funny thing...I had never been to the ocean the first time I went to Mexico several years ago. I was walking along the secluded beach we were on and looked up and a giant wave nearly took me home. Pie de le cuesta..or something like that. If a friend hadn’t pulled me out I would not be here today.
Bane.
I think there is a hotel in Vancouver or Washington that is supposed to be the best NW seaside storm watching hotel there is. I have seen it on the tube but I forget the location and name.
Maybe I go down to the beach and get me some Air Jordan’s.
Do you know what they call a mediaeval Masterbater? .........Pounding Serf
