    Being from Denver…I had no idea about sneaker waves 😳 CRAZY! Thank you for the information!

    Long Beach is the only beach I have been to. Three times we’ve visited, it is so beautiful there. We walked out during high tide coming in once, it was so fun. Drive the entire beach once, although I prefer to walk and just take in the surroundings. The ocean terrify me, watching the waves in the distance I just get anxious, but we’ve seen ships and whales too. Will be back the next summer I hope. Thanks for the video, I wish I could live there, sleep with the sound of waves lol.

    Thank you for letting me take a walk with you and your dog. Such a wonderful beach! I really enjoyed our walk and would like to do it again sometime. The beaches where I live in the arctic have the same wave dangers but for most of the year, the sea is frozen. Pressure ridges form on the ice standing up to 30 feet high from the tidal and wave action going on under the ice. Perhaps I will take a summer walk with my dog and post the video. I have to watch for sneaker waves and polar bears! Your dog would love to bark at a polar bear!

    It's not just that the water can knock you down and pull you out away from the beach, it's also frigidly cold. You don't want to be immersed in it for a long time as you struggle to get back to land.

    This is only samples, i remember near where i live, in a VERY SEVERE storm sneaker waves of several meters high, even three waves, one mount on another and breaking at the same time, the upper wave comes at incredible high speed and breaks a big part of the harbor, the blocks of this harbor was about 3x4m and united with steel bars, about 30-40m of the wall was destroyed, and about 5-6 meters high, thousands of tons of rock blocks was destroyed, was amazing.
    Storm of feb-1-2014, vizcay gulf.

    In 1966'ish Dad drove us to the coast in a 1940s Hudson to camp. Drives onto the beach (legal) and a mile later, goes to cross a drainage channel. Hudson sinks. Ma RUNS down beach to find a phone booth (no cell phones then) to call a tow truck. Rescued! Went home to Seattle silently.

    I’m glad you moved because I really didn’t want to see you fall and your dog get pulled out to sea. People are crazy to get close to waves that are unpredictable. I’ve seen cars and trucks get caught buried in 3-4in of sand when another wave hits. Scary.

    • @AngelaRPierce
      @AngelaRPierce  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Erica Erica! Thank you for your comment. They are Japanese glass floats that wash up on occasion. They are the great find of beach combing. They can be as small as a golf ball, or as large as a globe. The ones I've found are about the size of a baseball, which is most common.
      People who clean the beach are rewarded most.

    Love the way you said, ‘I’m going to do something reckless. I’m going to go and stand on one of those humps.’ Sounds like a good motto for every day of life. Not ‘nutso’ (love that too), but standing on a hump with the dog watching waves. Memo to self: find equivalents and go do!🇬🇧
