What the National Weather Service wrote

A "sneaker wave" swept a mother and two sons into the surf near Port Orford. The mother and older son were drowned, the younger son survived and was treated for hypothermia. Surf at the time was heavy, but not heavy enough to qualify for a High Surf Advisory. A High Surf Advisory was later issued on 11/12 as the surf built up to meet criteria.
