A High Surf Advisory is in effect until 11:00 a.m. Friday for coastal areas in Douglas, Coos and Curry counties.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service said large breaking waves of 22 to 24 feet are expected. These will create hazardous conditions along and within the surf zone, and could inundate beaches and low-lying shorelines. Beach erosion is possible and exposed infrastructure may be damaged.

Forecasters said people should stay away from the surf zone and off jetties. Area beaches may become hazardous due to dangerous surf conditions.
