    The National Weather Service in Medford has issued a High Surf

    Saturday.
    * Waves and Surf...Breaker heights 30 to 35 ft will diminish to 23
    to 25 feet Friday morning, then to less than 20 feet by Saturday
    morning.
    * Impacts...Waves will run up much higher on the beaches than
    normal. These waves will be powerful and can sweep people off
    jetties and other exposed rocks. They can also easily move
    large logs and other beach debris. Bar crossings and the surf
    zone will be especially dangerous due to strong currents and
    breaking waves.

    Precautionary/preparedness actions...
    A High Surf Warning indicates that dangerous, battering waves
    will pound the shoreline. This will result in life-threatening
    conditions. Stay off jetties and piers since they can be quickly
    inundated by the heavy surf. Or...better yet...just stay away.
    A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
    the advisory area, producing rip currents and localized beach
    erosion.
