I got swept away once, sneaker waves are dangerous, the swell was about 4 feet and I decided to find a spot near water, the whole day that place was dry the water didn't even reach it during high tide, but like 3 hours since outgoing tide started came a big sneaker wave and swept me off, luckily there was a boat nearby and saw me get washed off and rescued me. the hardest part was staying afloat with a rod in your hand and a backpack on your back, also with all these clothes. Because when you fall in the water the only thing you think about is get your rod to safety.
