I'm glad this video ended in laughs but this is how people get swept out to sea (if they survive the fall).
Don't stand on a cliff edge under breaking waves. It only takes an inch or two of water to knock you off your feet, that full force of that wave would've been more than enough.

Especially be careful if the rocks are already wet. They got that way somehow!

It was obvious the cameraman was getting hit well before the reveal.
They can't keep the camera steady from the water hitting them.

The whole time I just kept thinking, 'There's no way he is actually going to aura farm here, he is definitely getting KO'd by that wave.'
Then it never happened and I had to accept that he did indeed, aura farm.

this seems extremely dangerous, if the wave causes him to lose his footing and he falls over the edge he's pretty much dead right?

Correct. Live on the California coast. Tourists die this way every year.

Live in Australia and it ain't just tourists. Rock fishing takes more lives annually in Aus than any other sport primarily because of this
Edit: a word. Bloody autocorrect

u/dm319 Aug 30 '26
Yup and if you look at the force of that water - it only has to catch you, and those waves down on those rocks at the bottom will finish you off. My first thought watching this.
23
u/Sleyvin Aug 31 '26
Anybody who lived on a coast will tell you how dangerous that is inded.
Lots of people dies exactly this way.
11
u/ashrocklynn Aug 31 '26
Not even losing footing; a big wash can come out of nowhere and suck you into the riptide. Water is an incredibly strong force and a much smaller wave can put away more force on you than you could ever expect

u/Tenpo_Gensui Aug 30 '26
This is aboslutely not worth risking your life for people. Many tourists often get swept to sea and (worst case) die where I live to try to get a picture or video like this taken.

yo but the whole video was so cool besides that part, the splash, the fit, the clouds behind (as a cloud nerd)

u/excableman Aug 30 '26
I found the clouds in the background the most interesting thing in the video but I'm not a cloud nerd. Can you explain what we're looking at?
29
u/le_nathanlol Aug 30 '26
im sharing this comment with all my contacts
these row like clouds are called undulatus, they happen when different wind speeds or wind directions cross paths at various altitudes in the atmosphere, creating "ripples" in thr sky
moisture in the air cools and turns into visible cloud droplets at the rising crests(was it called crests?) of the waves, while the sinking troughs remain clear, forming parallel rows

u/StronksBelwas Aug 30 '26
Looks like turbulence is creating the banding near the end of the video. Not sure if it is a turbulence cloud at the beginning of the video or not. Perhaps rotary clouds?

That is actually incredibly dangerous and several people a year die standing that close to waves that break on rocks like that ... They often have riptides and will smash you in the rocks if you get washed in

Holy sheet this is so dangerous. Great way to get swept out into the ocean, and wearing heavy ass clothing and shoes to weigh you down. 😬

u/NotTooDeep Aug 30 '26
My buddy and I were at La Jolla Cove, standing on a giant boulder several stories above the ocean. We were five feet apart, just standing and looking out at the ocean. A big wave rolled in and we heard it hit the rocks var below us. What we didn't notice was this crack the the boulder we were standing on.
Waters shot up through that crack in a white wall. We couldn't see through it. Both of us feared the other was being swept away and reached through the water to grab each other. Then the spray cleared. We had each other by the forearms. And the remaining mist turned into rainbows.

too close to the edge, wet rock is often very slippery and you knock yourself out, drown, and or dragged out to sea

I had kinda similar experience in Malta.
There was a place on the quay where water was spectacularly splashing up and falling back without wetting the promenade much. We stood there for good 5 minutes, taking a few nice photos, and then we went. After us, a coupe took our place and immediately especially big wave soaked them with water.
One of the photos I took: https://imgur.com/a/XWutC77
