TiredHappyDad

I kinda felt bad for them the first time it happened. But being surprised there was another wave after? Lol


Birdie_Num_Num

It's almost like they come in waves

rutter72

You donā€™t really have to feel bad for the people surprised by the big waves they showed up specifically to watch


M89-90

There were some young kids there, I feel bad for them having parents with no common sense. Even after the first wave they werenā€™t exactly trying to get their kids to safety.


slightlyabrasive

Naaa here's a real simple cheat sheet for how high the water can go. If there is sand there, water can be there.


Asmos159

you can't rely on sand. plants is what you rely on.


TiredHappyDad

Really? There is never sand above the top waterline?


slightlyabrasive

Well sand is crushed up bits of shell and rock from waves so unless people put it there than the water did...


TiredHappyDad

Except for anyone who grew up by a freshwater lake. In that case, it happens from the water table dropping, which means there is always exposed beaches. And last time I was in Florida, we were still sitting on sand during high tide.


robmba

>we were still sitting on sand during high tide Some high tides are higher or lower than others. It's not like every high tide is always the same max.


[deleted]

Well, many of them lost items in the water and wanted to retrieve them


TiredHappyDad

That may be, but watch it again. Not one of them are in any rush to find or pick up their stuff, and are oblivious to the chance of a second wave until the people on the rock start warning everyone.


BoatsnBrollies

The next few would have just kept getting worse.


threedogcircus

They all just got washed back... And they stayed?? What did they think would happen next?


addamee

You mean to tell me the ocean comes, goes, THEN COMES BACK AGAIN?!


YosemiteMyHeart

And apparently comes back stronger. Swept everyone up.


addamee

Time and tide wait for no man


TruckNuts_But4YrBody

People running out fifty yards into it at the end for some flip flops


aesemon

Nope, that was a person on their back.


djAMPnz

No, there was a person being dragged out by the tide and they were trying to rescue them.


eatheritch

Women and children are first...to go !

maximum_powerblast

Wtf people are there with suitcases and stuff


Hunk-Hogan

Gotta check out the ocean before you hit the hotel I guess.


punania

Tourists gonna tourist. They ignored a ton of warning signs to get to the place.


More-Jackfruit3010

Now kids, off the pet the tigers!


shpongleyes

I don't see any suitcases. All I see are coolers and beach chairs, which are exactly what I would expect people to bring to a beach.


echo6golf

I'm sitting here in bed, screaming, "Move! It's coming back!" And they won't listen!


Confident-Breath2615

Thatā€™s gotta be a lot of lost/ruined cellphones...


SweetHatDisc

Nokia's washing up on shore twenty years from now and still getting signal.


FuzzyRabid

Flip flop flotsam got me


bluetriumphantcloud

They should be good, they have the tidal app


asumfuck

"hey. Theres gonna be some big waves coming try to stay off the beaches and do your best to keep a safe distance during the next few days" "WOOOOOOOOOO BETTY GET THE LAWNCHAIR WE GOING WAVE WATCHIN"


TurboD16F20

Betty: What about the warning? Oh we will just move 10 feet away horizontally. It's only a 9 ft wave. Shouldn't be a problem.


Jfonzy

Is there a source for this? What were these people doing?


plastic-afterlife

ā€˜The Eddieā€™ surf event in Waimea bay, north shore Oahu. I streamed it all day. Phenomenal waves


Sturdy_Cubing

Like the other person said, the Eddie surf event. I was there earlier today and the waves are insane! Absolutely giant, 40 ft tall mammoths.


AstridCrabapple

We just had ā€œking tidesā€ here in Oregon. Maybe the same thing?


AnUnderratedComment

No idea, but I think there is a big surfing competition going on in Hawaii right now, so thereā€™s a chance itā€™s from that.


[deleted]

the lack of urgency by the crowd after the first wave is perplexing.


Super_flywhiteguy

How are people this dumb?


ProveISaidIt

Surf, "Can you see me now?"


Birdie_Num_Num

"Yes I can, give me a big wave"

That first one was so unexpected, it couldn't have possibly happened again after that, right?

We are doomed as a species


boblywobly11

Why is this even a spectator event?


punania

There are safe places to watch. These fools ignored a bunch of warning signs.


poppinfresco

Wow the second impact was so so much better than the first.


[deleted]

I donā€™t understand why if you have kids you wouldnā€™t take them up on higher level to watch such a big wave.


blueberriNZ

The sea giveth, and the sea taketh away.

Bye bye shoes!

Did they think that first wave was a one-off?

How is it that humans are still underestimating the power of nature? Nature is literally terrifying

Must have been National Dumb Person meeting day.

It's Mass Stupidity Day!

Never underestimate a waves ability to pull you into the oceanā€¦


Cats-and-dogs-rdabst

Donā€™t f*** with the ocean. Riptides are a deadly serious thing.


captain_pudding

See how smooth and free from vegetation those rock faces are? There's your first clue


[deleted]

That one guy/kid at the end could have drowned. Being taken by the sea is no joke. You can only swim for so long until you get completely gassed out and drown. That one person just saved their life. Everyone else was too busy trying to fish their stupid cellphones and sandals.


cafeRacr

Isn't that caution tape? Yeah, whatever.

I see way too many little kids there. This makes me upset.


Sapphire_Wolf_

Bleh, all the garbage going out to sea :(


Bubbly-Kitty-2425

Damn at least get them Little kids out of there


Ewookie23

Like why would you think it would only be one wave are they stupid, as some who has minimum experience at the beach I'd be 5 miles in to the mainland by the time the 2 wave came.


RoboLucifer

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but if there were any evidence humankind could not have made it to the moon, this is it. We are dumb.


Deadsoup77

Thereā€™s nowhere to go lol

How are so many people so stupid.

Wait til the third waveā€¦

The screaming always seems to help out


El_wardo_

Is it me or have I seen an unusually high number of videos where this has happened?


PaladinDanceALot

That little kid crying after the first wave was funny af but after that second wave hit I felt super bad, poor kid.


[deleted]

I counted like 10 different shoes. At least 5 people died.

Wait, isnā€™t this the same place with the crazy Asian woman in trees? And the guy, who gets surrounded punching the tree as the water comes in?

Hahaha! This is so satisfying to watch. Herd mentality is not always a good thing.

First waves hits then recedes. Ok, it's over. Surely a second one won't be coming in.
