The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a high surf advisory... which is in effect until 9 PM PST this evening.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...
It is extremely dangerous to fish or observe waves from rocks during high surf conditions. Unwary beach walkers can be caught off guard as waves suddenly race farther up the beach than normal.
