This type of wave got me in Keawaula Beach, northwest Oahu Island. It was only about 2 feet high but dragged me about a hundred feet or so. Respect nature: beautiful but can be deadly. 🙏
That’s an awful feeling. The same thing happened to me and my then 13yr old daughter in Cancun, Mexico. It’s crazy, the water was only up to my knees and I’m 5’3. You are totally right, nature is beautiful but can be deadly.
I lived in Hanakopiai in the 70s , I saved people from drowning and watched people drown that I wouldn’t go into the water to try save them . Hanakopiai is deadly so is the rest of Hawaii in winter . And yes there is a big sign with the number of people that died on that beach. Probably 50 by now .
Yup!!! Tru dat!!! Born and raised on the North Shore of Oahu surfing since I was 5 years old! Lived and surfed on Kauai many years. Actually have saved tourists who got swept into the surf at Hanakapiai, and as an expert surfer swimmer and Hawaiian waterman and lifeguard, when it's really big surf, at a place like this, I even would not try to rescue someone on the extremely big surf events unless I got to them extremely fast before they are taken out to sea!!! At other beaches, there are lifeguards on duty till 5pm and they usually stay till dark on the really big surf days even though they are not getting paid after 5pm!! We just hate to have people or visitors drown!! If there is cell phone reception, and someone can call 911, then I can swim out to someone who is outside the bigvsurf breaking and if it's too dangerous then I could keep them afloat and safe till a jet ski or rescue helicopter could come get the person and safely get them back to shore. Trying to swim someone in through the big surf to the beach is extremely difficult, hence at a place like this secluded beach there is a point where I or anyone else would just have to stay on shore sadly!!! Yeah, despite the sign that says dangerous waves and how many people drowned there, some people just don't understand or they are unfortunately ignorant and end up drowning! Please be safe people!!! Aloha from beautiful Hawaii
Regardless of all the warning signs that are posted ... this is what happens when people disregard the signs. They're put up for a reason! The ocean will always win 🤷♀️🤦🏽♀️smh I am glad nobody was seriously hurt Auwe
True, but it is well known that Hawaiian ocean conditions can change dramatically in a matter of minutes. I had the chance to experience this myself surfing at Honolua Bay, Maui. Waves were very small, I would say 2-3 ft when suddenly sets of 6-8 ft started to come in from the horizon and the whole crowd started to yell. It was incredible.
Growing up in hawaii , going to big wave beaches for 30 years I lost count of how many tourists I've helped out or in on shore break beaches, Sandy's, Makapuu, Waimea, Keiki, Yokohama. One time I remember , huge day at Waimea, 10+ so we could still go in the white water and mess around, long Beach so the water would break and then come blasting up, you had to put your clothes and foot wear up in the trees and plants otherwise it's gets washed away, this couple in their 50 to 60's wearing Thick leather jackets, they are short and heavy set, they are going to close when the white water comes blasting up and they get knocked over like blowing pins, the clothes are soaked and get so heavy they can't get up, me and my cousins go race to get them, throw off the heavy clothes and drag them up the beach. Mainland people 😖
I remember as a kid in Kona a big lady going to go out on her bodyboard and a local guy running up to her asking her what she's doing. She said " I'm going in the water. He said " no you going die". I have lived in Hawaii most my life. I have only had one tourist smart enough to ask me if it was safe to go in the water with his kids when the surf was pumping. I said no too dangerous
I don't like it when they show mainland people wearing mainland clothes, on television. Wear Hawaiian clothes. I miss Hawaii every day. For over 30 years now. Be lucky you live in Hawaii.
Ya, I'm surprised those people made it this long in the world. Took absolutely no caution at all and knowing they can't run or anything. I mean, guess you didn't have much of a choice to help, could only watch them struggle to get up for so long.
Waves surges are very dangerous, never turn your back to the sea especially if the tide is rising. Every 7th wave always seem larger and push the surf well up the shore and catch many out. Glad all were safe.
In lbs. that is 2200 lbs. My Harley weighs 900 lbs. Now imagine being hit by a 150 yard long line of Harleys continuously for several minutes. Never underestimate the power of water, especially sea water. In Hawaii when they say high surf they aren't joking.
@@joepromedio correct! I did not know that until today! Definitely didn’t know the difference in spelling! Between ‘ton vs tonne’! Learn something new everyday!
When describing high waves to visiting mainland friends, tell them..."Picture building 2 stories/20 feet high, 75 yards wide, either way. Then imagine 3-5 of those buildings coming at you, 5-7 seconds in btwn. How do you react? Where will you run? What do you do?.... Unless they live near E/W Coast shores, you have no gauge/no measuring stick. Rivers/Lakes are different types of water environs....
The scientific term is "surf beat." It's the longer period waves (typically with periods of 30 - 180 seconds, versus, say 15-20 seconds for the actual swell running at that time) that set up in the surf zone. So even though waves are washing in every 15 seconds or so, the entire body of water along the coast can recede for a couple of minutes, and then surge back in, with the breaking waves riding atop this surge.
What is the cause of this erratic behavior? I have heard of "rogue waves" where a wave will pile up to sixty feet but I have never heard of a "surf beat". I am wondering if the two are related.
@@charlesclements4350 , "rogue wave" is generally the layman's term for a _soliton._ "Surf beat" is another term for _infragravity waves." The two have completely different mechanisms.
Wow! Thank you very much, xyxct. I most highly appreciate that. "infra gravity" was not found in my dictionary but soliton was. That is most interesting. How did you come across that?
I lived by the ocean all of my life, in fact, I can see the ocean from my bedroom and living room. You have to use good judgment and be extra careful. That means most inlanders when we get king tides here in Humboldt I do not go beachcombing. What ever happened to common sense?
I've been a beach lifeguard And when someone didnt hear our notices, bad things were likely going to happen. Even tough sometimes, things happen that we didnt expect. That's when we learn, if we have the ability do admit our errors. For experience I can tell you that peoples are unique in their way..We all perceive danger in a different way.
Those injuries from salt water combined with the sunlight are very painful. Wash them off and cover them. I say this from personal experience. I miss Hawaii.
I dont warn people anymore. I watched a guy paddle out on a rented surfboard last winter, he could barely paddle. Surf was pumping lucky for him a huge set came and washed him in. If he had made it 50 more yards he'd have taken a set on the head and may not have survived
Fire fighter and ocean authority already warned not to mess around the sand during high water month, no one is taking the advice seriously. Nothing much can be done when people are stubborn.
My wife and I body surfed Hanakapiai in 1980. It was scary, big side current and we had no idea how dangerous it was. What's a rip-tide? How far is it to Nihihau?
Sneaker waves like that are very dangerous! Obviously the injuries are painful, but they’ll heal. I’m just really happy to hear that no one was killed in this incident.
That snapshot of everyone turning around running for their lives and theres that one lady still taking pictures. Smh. The state should also put up signs in Japanese and Chinese languages.
@Ryy Dog Hanakapiai will be dangerous to tourists no matter what time of year. The least the state can do is close it off during high surf advisories. I mean, why even chance it.
@Ryy Dog Oh yeah? I'm from and live on Kauai and have been there countless of times. And guess what, people go down to the shoreline regardless just like in this instance. Just because there's signs up doesn't mean people heed the warnings nor understand them. Another example would be Queen's Bath, which they have put up a fence/gate and close during high surf. The same thing needs to be done for Hanakapiai.
When I was little growing up on the oceanfront on the Balboa peninsula , my mother yelled TIDAL WAVE and us kids and Dad raced to our car and drove fast up to the bluff by Hoag hospital . It was a tidal surge and it filled the whole horizon with what looked like a huge wave breaking way out at sea . I don't remember what happened but it must have dissapated before it got to shore or at least it didn't get far enough up the beach to hurt the houses but OMG was it scary .
I'm glad those who suffered the more serious injuries were taken to the nearest hospitals as opposed to those that were far away. Isn't it usually a good idea to take injured people to the nearest hospital?
I lived and surfed on Kauai for 21 years and I ran the trail to Hanakapiai on the reg... please please don't ever go in the water there and definitely don't ever turn your back on the ocean there!!!! The sign on the trail just before you get there with all the hash marks is not nearly accurate of how many people drown there!!!! Please 🙏
A lot of you people posting are jerks. The couple being interviewed say they were 40 feet behind the rocks far from the wet sand, and many people just don't understand how random and deadly the Pacific can be. Too many people are on here saying "they deserve whatever happens". People make mistakes, or aren't always educated on the dangers. This is just an excuse for Hawaiians to be nasty to mainlanders. I'll spend my money elsewhere, thanks!
Yep I searched the signs and they say "stay away from the water" . They were fairly away from the water. I have been to some dangerous beachs in Chile and I would have never thought that being 40 feet away from the water line was too close. I guess this had to do with tides and times of the year cause I ve seen pictures of people in the very same spot without any problem.
I don't know if "muscular wave" is a legit term for this but I do know people also call them "sneaker waves". Feel free to correct me if I am wrong tho.
Hanakapiai beach is secluded and along the na pali coast trail. It is so DEADLY!!!!!!!!! Many people have died there over the years!!! People who don't understand just how powerful the waves along the northern shores of the Hawaiian islands are, in the winter, and are not familiar with the surge of white water that can suddenly come roaring way up the beach, and knock you down and drag you into the pounding shorebreak where the undertow and rip currents are so strong, MUST STAY FAR UP THE BEACH AND AWAY FROM THE WET SAND!!!!! Otherwise, unless you are an excellent waterman and swimmer and surfer familiar with Hawaii's winter surf, you will most likely drown often never to be seen again!!!! I'm born and raised in the Hawaiian islands and have lived on the North Shore of Oahu and Kauai, surfing since I was 5 years old , over 40+ years now! Please be careful, it's just extremely dangerous! Be safe and alert, read the warning signs and stay way back!!! Enjoy watching from a very safe distance please, and enjoy Hawaii's awesome power and beauty of the ocean!!! D.L.
There are signs everywhere here warning of the dangers yet every time I'm there I see people not paying attention and actually wading out into the water. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Never turn your back to the ocean. Also any beach with a sloped shore means waves come up there. Always be alert
Fuck once I did it on a Brazilian beach getting on backs to a revolt seafront I will never do it again

The ocean is like the mountains.
Indifferent to you.
You "conquer" neither one.
You go into it, and you either come out or you don't.
I was there years ago and I think there was a sign listing the number of people who had died there.
I lived in Hanakopiai in the 70s , I saved people from drowning and watched people drown that I wouldn’t go into the water to try save them . Hanakopiai is deadly so is the rest of Hawaii in winter . And yes there is a big sign with the number of people that died on that beach. Probably 50 by now .

You wonder why surfers sit and watch a beach for hours studying it .
@Elliott Hubanks Wait...So you don't spend your whole morning studying the ocean to prepare for your afternoon session? Lol.
True, but it is well known that Hawaiian ocean conditions can change dramatically in a matter of minutes. I had the chance to experience this myself surfing at Honolua Bay, Maui.
