Nope............. and I can't view video stuff. Does it mention where "near Coos Bay" is?
I'd suspect Bastendorff Beach or Horsefall Beach.

Sneaker wave" caught on video along Oregon coast
The National Weather Service in Eureka, California shared this post and video on Facebook:
Check out this video of a sneaker wave that caught beach-goers off guard near Coos Bay, OR last weekend (courtesy of The Oregonian). Sneaker waves are waves that run abnormally far up the beach after a long period of smaller waves, and can seemingly come from out of nowhere to pull unsuspecting beach-goers into the frigid Pacific waters. This will be especially relevant tomorrow, as an arriving northwest swell will likely result in a high threat for sneaker waves along area beaches.
Man doesnt say where though
Good sized wave. There were cliffs to the right and it looked like a rock type wall as a maybe break water on the left

Rock type wall is probably the jetty......... one side of the entrance into the bay.
I'm still looking for a non video image of the event.

What timing............... just as I typed my previous response, the video appeared on our local TV news.

Well??????????????
Waiting for the 11 o'clock news to see it again.
A- It wasn't me
B- It wasn't Darol
It was Bastendorff Beach for sure. I guess know body died, so that's a good thing. I've lived here all of my life and have been chased by only one sneaker wave. They don't happen often and are not predictable........... they happen when they happen.
