* WHEN...From Tuesday morning through Wednesday evening.

  can suddenly knock beachgoers off if their feet and quickly
  pull them into the frigid ocean which may lead to serious
  injury or drowning.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A Beach Hazards Statement is issued when
  sneaker waves create potentially life-threatening conditions
  in the surf zone. Caution should be used when in or near the
  water. Always keep an eye on the waves, and be especially
  watchful of children. Those participating in razor clam digs
  should additionally exercise caution.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
