By Wednesday, waves could increase to 20-25 feet.
Cannon Beach lifeguards are urging caution as king tides create hazardous conditions along the coast, and warn that the spectacle of the huge waves doesn't negate the risk posed to beachgoers.
Over the weekend and into Monday, waves are expected to reach up to 20 feet. King tides, while visually stunning, can transform the coastal environment into a perilous zone. Large, strong, and unpredictable waves can easily carry even the strongest swimmers or surfers away from shore.
