* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, tidal overflow flooding expected. For the High Surf Warning, large waves and dangerous surf conditions. Breakers up to 30 to 35 feet. * WHERE...Tillamook County Coast. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from noon to 4 PM PST Friday. For the High Surf Warning, from noon Friday to noon PST Saturday. * IMPACTS...Minor flooding, up to one foot above ground level, during high tides is expected in the low lying areas near bays, sloughs, and the lower reaches of the coastal rivers. Destructive waves may wash over beaches, jetties, and other structures unexpectedly. People can be swept off rocks and jetties and drown while observing high surf. Severe beach erosion may destroy coastal properties and buildings. Higher than normal water run-up is expected on beaches and low- lying shoreline. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The threat of sneaker waves is extreme during these scenarios. Sneaker waves can suddenly knock people off of their feet and quickly pull them into the frigid ocean which may lead to serious injury or drowning. The sneaker wave threat will peak Friday evening into Friday night. In addition, the Garibaldi tidal gauge is forecast to reach approximately 10.5 ft during high tide Friday afternoon. This typically results in flooding over Burton-Fraser Rd. along the Tillamook River.

A Coastal Flood Advisory means that tidal overflow flooding is expected. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert for rising water, and take appropriate action to protect life and property. A High Surf Warning means that high surf will affect beaches, producing rip currents, sneaker waves and beach erosion. Stay well back from the water's edge and be alert for exceptionally high waves. Keep away from large logs on the beach. Water running up on the beach can lift or roll logs which can injure or kill someone caught in their path.
