Lived in Oregon for 30 years and there are 2 to 3 tourist that die annually due to sneaker waves. They can happen at any time. We almost lost my father-in-law to one while they were visiting. He was rescued by a Coast Guard Motor Launch 75 yard off the beach. He is a experienced surfer and said the rip tide was stronger then anything he has been in. He was so exhausted he almost gave up when he saw the Coast Guard coming. Thank you to the men and women of the USCG Chetco Station who risk their lives to save everyone else.
Wow, glad your father in law made it out safely. I had a boss in Houston Texas who's daughters best friend was taken by a rip current as well as her father who dove in to rescue. Didnt know it was that bad in Oregon, good thing to keep in mind when I make a trip up that way one day.
I agree since it always seems like people forget about their pets when something like this happens. But considering he was running free I had faith he'd be wise enough to run in the other direction. He/she actually seemed the least phased out of all the humans.
When i lived in WA, there were many stories of people being overwhelmed on the beaches and taken out to see or hit by logs of wood in the waves. You really have to pay attention in the Pacific NW
We lived in Port Angeles, took regular day-trips to Lake Ozette and Neah Bay area. Grandma taught us to always watch the ocean and look for waves that seem to be 'stuck' or piling up on each other. The signs are there for some time before it gets bad, but on a shallow beach like this it can get bad really fast!
The piling up waves are always a sign to get back and go up. I've live in the PNW all my life and it never ceases to amaze me the number of people who live here and are oblivious to the power of the water.
This is why you never turn your back to the ocean. Born and raised in Oregon, even worked at Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach. People will take their strollers right up to the tide level and think nothing of it. People will even walk around the rocks during extreme low tides, putting their bodies between a rock and the waves, without realizing a big sneaker wave could catch them any time and crush them up against the rocks.
As a full blooded, born & raised Oregon kid, I know our ocean, rivers and lakes all too well!... Our coastal waters and rivers are not only powerful but frigid cold and will steal your breath away!....
This is new to me. Frightening. Atlantic not like this, that I know of. Absolutely incredible to watch the water coming and coming and coming. Yikes! Beautiful but obviously deadly. Thank you for your video. I would like to see a drones coverage of that.
@@namastezen3300 the point was that you'd hear the klaxon ahead of time so you wouldn't be expecting any tsunami coming at you before then. And then ya got 7-8 minutes to skidaddle right?
@@stevejensen3471 thank you for your reply. I apologize for the confusion. The warning system klaxon will sound for tsunami warning pacific rim earthquakes that may take an hour or more to arrive. If you feel an earthquake, you have 7-8 minutes to exit inundation zones before the tsunami arrives (& no klaxon will sound). This video clip shows a storm surge on top of a king tide; while the inundation is dramatic, it is a fraction of the impact of a tsunami. all the best regards to you.
From the moment the video began you could hear the roar coming. Flash floods have a similar roar. When I hear that sound I know to be aware and move to high ground! It reminds me of 'white noise' or an old TV trying to dial in a UHF channel, but the volume is turned way up. LOL
Man I remember when Neskowin had a walkway by the cafe but now the river has washed it all away. All before the neighborhood was built on the beach. Love it there 🤍
It's 11:13am and I'm standing on this exact beach and theres a sneaker warning. Lez gooo Neskowin is such a beautiful place and proposal rock is amazing.
Fuck I was worried about the dog man. When you turned around back towards the beach from on top of the rocks, I couldn’t see the dog. My heart just sank.
@@mikem2986 Our room was at the Proposal Rock Inn, 31 years ago today. On our second anniversary, we went down there on a day trip and, on a lark, decided to stay there again... We ended up in the same room.
My wife and I honeymooned there too and loved it so much we moved close by. I also had never seen the waves come this far and was truly caught off guard.
When the beach is wet looking along ways out , you can bet you're going to have a tidal surge . And if it flat out disappears almost out of sight ?... Head for high ground and don't wait around to see it coming .
I love Neskowin and proposal rock. When my family starting going to the coast every year for vacation. Neskowin was a camp ground and it had a community kitchen. One year when we went there mybrother and I climbed to the top of proposal rock it was beautiful.
No joke. That amount of water could have rolled and pulled the little kid further off shore where rescue would have been difficult. Even an adult could have fallen into icy water. Being soaked and cold in winter is a life-threatening situation. What it is about the PNW coast that leads to sneaker waves forming?
Ahh, Neskowin - one of the lovliest sleepy coastal hamlets onthe Coast! As a geological oceanographer out of OSU, I can tell you that normal sneakers are typically due to the nearshore topography and the mixed semidiurnal tidal regime which can often double up on tidal amplitudes forming extra-high surges or sneakers. That being said, the particular tides in this Jan 10 vid are called king tides which are a special extremely-high tide that forms when the Earth is at perigee (closest to the sun during our Northern Hemisphere winter) and when the Moon is directly between the Earth and towards the Sun - or during new moon phase around the 8th-12th of the month! Their technically know as perigean spring tides.
@@Psychol-Snooper It funny how you pretend to know everything going on without being there. Every single person in the video saw the wave was coming high at the same time I did and I was the farthest out. Nobody needed a heads up. Keep trolling, loser
@@Psychol-Snooper Normally I would agree with you. I saw a video with a girl holding her dog on the leash and letting it almost drown the other day and it made me so angry. Some people were defending her, but she saw the wave coming and moved incredibly slowly. In this case I think if the woman saw people running she should have had enough sense to know that she needed to get out of there quickly herself. Of course, I don’t think it would have hurt to yell for her to run either. But the warning signs were obvious here. It bugs me how nonchalant some people are (idk if that’s the right word exactly but hopefully you get my point).
In my opinion they are mini Tsunami waves. The wave length is too long for a regular wave. What it reminds me of is a possible underwater landslide. Not large enough to create a giant Tsunami but big enough to create a larger than normal wave with a long wave length to it. I also heard the guy say there were lots of them that day. That would coincide with a smaller underwater landslide, that destabilizes the area causing multiple landslides over a period of time. Just my thoughts.
At first, thought someone was using a telephoto lens. Turned nasty in a hurry when I saw those people and the camera shake. Very disturbing how close that was.
Oregon is among the places I would like to see. Bay of Foundry, Norwegian Fjords, far southern Chile, are others. Sure, sun and beach are fine, but I'm more drawn to the colder climates.
We fought the war on drugs for forty years. It didn't work! Oregon has had a drug problem the whole time. Why don't they try a different approach based on public health?

If you see the water kind of turning into almost like a shelf and coming at you you should really be moving back. If you are foolish enough to stay standing where you are and lucky enough to manage to stay on your feet the rip current behind it is absolutely unreal.
We sat up on top of the rocks for about 10 minutes and the waves stayed pretty far out like where the video starts. The sound the waves started making when I was already filming is what made me realize to run. Tho others on the beach were already running
I've climbed the left side wall to that hole you can see through and have walked all around the top of the haystack but never saw a crack. How can I get to it? I freaking love that beach.
I been around that same spot when the same thing happened, didn't get it on video because I didn't see it coming and didn't know too much about the ocean

I think you missed Most of the wave as you were busy hightailing your butt off the sandy beach.... As far as the actual wave, I wonder why them rocks are so far up from the beach 🤔
Obviously I don't wanna see anyone lose their lives but the strength of the ocean along with dangers you hear about quite alot, so when you do things like this and it goes wrong let's say the most loyal one there the dog gets dragged out to sea?? I would feel alot worse for the dog stay safe people x
Yeah, I'll take the Gulf of Mexico any day, thank you very much. Our idea of "heavy surf" wouldn't qualify as the foam on the crest of an average Pacific breaker.
Is it truly a sneaker wave if you see it coming? Not to minimize the danger, but these waves aren't uncommon at all - they roll in every few minutes, so getting caught by one shouldn't be considered fluke. Looking at the beach at the start of this video, the sand is wet all the way to the rocks. Warning given.

Noice.
Likewise!
Those older folks were in far more danger than the pooch.
After the tsunami in the Indian Ocean, how could anybody not already be running for higher ground when they see the tide roll out like that?
This looks like a totally normal day at the beach in Oregon- that's why
Because people are still dumb as hell...
There’s a point in the video where you see it really form up, all the way down the coast… I would have started running from it immediately.
At no point did the tide pull out, speaker waves ate called that because there is no real warning other than the actual wave coming in
It's happens almost annually every year
When i lived in WA, there were many stories of people being overwhelmed on the beaches and taken out to see or hit by logs of wood in the waves. You really have to pay attention in the Pacific NW
The PNW is absolutely gorgeous. But if you're not careful, she will eat you alive without a second thought.
The big danger is the rip current after the sneaker as water draws swiftly back to sea
This is really good to know. Thanks

Fortunately, the dog was not upset or scared by this experience - it just swam as necessary and then walked out.
Leave the woman and save the dog!!
I saw it coming......well thanks for the warning
Is this where the scenery from the goonies was filmed??
The movie was filmed a couple hours north of there in Astoria. Looks a lot like it tho
long flat nearly level shorelines mean sneaker waves.
Good to know 👍
I think you missed Most of the wave as you were busy hightailing your butt off the sandy beach....
As far as the actual wave, I wonder why them rocks are so far up from the beach 🤔
Damn that could have been really bad. That was quick
Wauu fantastis
Obviously I don't wanna see anyone lose their lives but the strength of the ocean along with dangers you hear about quite alot, so when you do things like this and it goes wrong let's say the most loyal one there the dog gets dragged out to sea?? I would feel alot worse for the dog stay safe people x
He said he got it on video camera like it's 1990 and he just purchased his first VHS camcorder
Bro, you got me and I am LOL on the interweb. Think, The Goldbergs. I miss the grandpa tho
Gen X baby! I would not change a thing.
Remember, the sea always win..... people don’t get it.
Damn Straight. The people who keep building houses by the shore need more education on that
Watching this is all I care about is where the hell is the dog. lol
I totally understand
Yeah, I'll take the Gulf of Mexico any day, thank you very much. Our idea of "heavy surf" wouldn't qualify as the foam on the crest of an average Pacific breaker.
Is there a time of year or day that they happen more often?
High tides and when storms are out at sea off the coast.
VHS?
Is it truly a sneaker wave if you see it coming? Not to minimize the danger, but these waves aren't uncommon at all - they roll in every few minutes, so getting caught by one shouldn't be considered fluke. Looking at the beach at the start of this video, the sand is wet all the way to the rocks. Warning given.
Yes, there is a periodicity to the waves. You can discern it by watching carefully for several minutes.
Omg that is sooo scary !!
