A National Weather Service map shows the advisory stretching roughly 130 miles from south of Brookings to north of Reedsport.
Meteorologists are warning Oregon beachgoers that a high surf advisory is in place for more than a third of the state's beaches.A large swell occurring in the Pacific Ocean has caused large, breaking waves of between 23 and 26 feet, that could create 'hazardous conditions along and within the surf zone,' according to the National Weather Service .
Upon approaching the beach, large waves can run up on the beach much higher than expected. High surf advisories are more frequent in the winter time, when waves typically run higher, Petrucelli said.'If you're at the beach, you want to be aware of your surroundings,' he said. 'Every wave is not going to cause the water to run up, but sometimes you can have that occurring.'Random large waves can catch people off guard, he warned.
