Photo Courtesy A State of Oregon website says, "Never turn your back..." What was the website talking about? Sneaker waves. No these are not waves with tennis shoes on. They also are not any type of wave fueled by a tide. A tide is predictable. Charts are posted on beaches and in towns along waterways warning when the tide will come in. A sneaker wave, on the other hand, gives no warning. The water soars towards the beach climbing high and higher then slaps the sand or rocks with an unsuspecting force. Beach walkers are often caught unaware. Usually they can run to safety, but there have been cases where an individual had turned their back and didn't see the danger. Even worse is the sneaker wave's force. It pounds down and yanks the earth/rocks out from under a person standing in the way then drags the person underwater.
