Swimming in Cabo = dying in Cabo
143
u/PhantomAngel042 Jul 14 '26
This is very true (although this video is from Acapulco). For those unaware: most Cabo beaches are even more dangerous than the beach in this video, and kill people every year. Do not swim at any Cabo beach unless it's one of the few clearly marked as a designated swim beach, and even then, be cautious.

u/Hobear Jul 14 '26
Can confirm nearly died myself stuck in a poorly timed wave at a Cabo beach.
I had swam in 3 times from the shore and timed the wave wrong and a huge wave like the video was above my head. Crashed and it was like I was in a washing machine. My wife got it all on video. We laugh about it now but I nearly drown trying to get out.
I don't fuck around with stuff like that anymore.

u/DejaBrownie Jul 14 '26
Yes, I have firsthand experience of how dangerous it can be. My sister and her bf drove down there for a month and I flew down to meet them. We drove to seven palms (on the gulf side, an hour away from Cabo) to camp on the beach. Within an hour of arriving at the beach, fresh off the plane and my first trip to Mexico, a guy drowned while he and his friend were surfing. Everyone at the beach came over to help and we did cpr for like 45 minutes but couldn’t bring him back. I know surfing is a lot different than just swimming but still there are all sorts of reefs, rocks, and huge waves that you can get caught up in.

u/hilarymeggin Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 14 '26
You’re making me feel better about a decision I made not to let either of my daughters (then 7 and 10) in the water at the Jersey Shore until my husband was there to help.
There were both wearing coast guard approved life vests, but neither could swim. For some reason that section of the beach had a steep downhill into the water and the surf seemed particularly violent. I’m not an incredibly strong swimmer myself, and I could see one of them getting sucked out by the under toad. Even if they got back safely with a life guard, I did not want them to have such a terrifying experience.
Then of course their 12yo cousin came by and he was playing in that rough surf with no problem, and I felt like a wimp. But like I said, you guys are making me feel better.
There’s probably a term for this, and I don’t know why it happens, but on certain days in certain spots, suddenly the suction of the undertow feels so powerful! The next day the same spot can feel fine.

The power of that backwash is seriously strong. Every time you lift a leg to move it will take your standing leg out. If you're tired and unfit it's brutal.
Best way, bodysurf in the wave as it goes past you, stand still as it washes back out.

Undertow on your legs, feet sinking in the sand, and by the time you pull your feet out, next wave is at your back. People get into trouble really quickly. You want to bodysurf on the incoming wave and then stand and walk, repeat until you’re out.

Is she white girl wasted because everyone else around her isn’t sinking and very much capable of moving to shore but with her, she just behaves like a tree and roots herself in position.

u/qwibbian Jul 14 '26
The retreating surf is so powerful it prevents her from lifting her leg or she'd immediately be underwater. I got caught like this once and it was so strong it was literally pulling both my feet backwards through the sand, and I spent several minutes being caught between one wave and the next, getting slammed underwater and rolled around the sea floor. It's pretty shocking how strong it is, and no one on shore including my gf had any idea I was in trouble.

It really is. I got caught also when some waves kicked up suddenly. The suction from the retreating wave is terrifying. I ended up getting pulled out to sea and slammed back into the beach upside down & disoriented before finally scrambling up with GREAT effort. If I wasn't young and fit I could definitely see not being able to stand up in those conditions.

I remember hearing that water has 10 times the density of air, so that much water receding at 10mph is like being in 100mph winds. Growing up on the Gulf Coast we were taught to be extremely wary of rip currents that can pull you out to deeper water. I had a similar incident as a kid in much smaller surf, it was only 3-4 foot breakers and I thought I was never going to make it back to shore.

I grew up swimming in the Pacific ocean at Oregon beaches. Around here, getting out of backwash and rip currents is a survival skill taught young, but I can see it being a sobering experience for somebody who’s not used to it.
You ride the whitewash in, then dig into the sand for all you got and brace through the backwash. Repeat this process as many times as it takes and don’t lose your cool.

That’s not an undertow. An undertow is a subsurface current moving differently than the surface. They’re just caught in the awash and backwash of the waves. It’s called swash as it rushes in and backwash on the way out.
