Beach Hazards Statement
2025-03-25T12:00:00-07:00

* WHAT...A moderate risk of sneaker waves. * WHERE...Douglas, Coos, and Curry County Beaches. * WHEN...From Late Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning. * IMPACTS...Sneaker waves can run up significantly farther on beaches than normal, including over rocks and jetties. These waves can suddenly knock people off of their feet and quickly pull them into the cold ocean waters, resulting in serious injury or death. Waves may also lift driftwood logs, trapping anyone caught underneath. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The risk will be highest on west facing beaches, especially early Tuesday morning. Though a comparatively lesser risk, awareness is also warranted for this afternoon and evening with a slight risk of sneaker waves. * View the hazard area in detail at https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?wfo=mfr

The Cape Blanco State Park boat ramp in Oregon is a concrete boat ramp that provides access to the Pacific Ocean. According to the Oregon State Parks website, the boat ramp is 45 feet wide and is open year-round. The website also states that the boat ramp can accommodate boats up to 26 feet in length, and there are no horsepower restrictions. However, it is recommended that boaters check local weather and ocean conditions before launching.

In terms of the types of craft that are permitted on the water, the Oregon State Marine Board website states that all motorized boats must be registered with the state and display a valid registration decal. Additionally, the website notes that personal watercraft such as jet skis are allowed on the water but must be operated by a licensed operator who is at least 14 years of age.

Overall, the Cape Blanco State Park boat ramp appears to be a well-maintained facility that provides access to a large body of water for a variety of recreational activities. Boaters should always exercise caution when launching and navigating in any body of water and should be aware of local regulations and safety guidelines.
