• Sneaker Wave Sweeps a Young Girl Into the Surf at Cannon Beach as Forecasters Warn Bigger Waves Are Coming (thatoregonlife.com) — Cannon Beach firefighters are increasing beach patrols after an apparent sneaker wave swept a girl into the surf Sunday, with a stronger swell possible Saturday. Adults pulled her out, and a witness said everyone appeared to walk away safely. Forecasters expect sneaker-wave danger to continue through the week. 
• Active Wave Week Along Oregon, Washington - Surf Up to 35 Ft High Coming (beachconnection.net) — Dangerous surf is forecast for Oregon’s north coast Saturday, with offshore waves reaching 20 to 24 feet and breaking waves expected to rise higher. The National Weather Service also warns of sneaker waves through the week and possible tidal overflow Wednesday and Thursday, when high water could flood beaches and worsen erosion.
• Change expected in Oregon law that has threatened to shut down charity potlucks (lookouteugene-springfield.com) — A warning over a Cannon Beach potluck is among the enforcement actions drawing scrutiny of Oregon's restrictions on homemade food at public gatherings. State officials could issue clearer guidance by December, while a coastal lawmaker is seeking legislation allowing public potlucks with disclosures that food came from home kitchens.
