Sneaker Waves on the Long Beach Peninsula

[@annwilliamson8163]

Being from Denver…I had no idea about sneaker waves 😳 CRAZY! Thank you for the information!

[@AngelaRPierce]

Thank YOU for your comment!

[@Sxlientz]

Long Beach is the only beach I have been to. Three times we’ve visited, it is so beautiful there. We walked out during high tide coming in once, it was so fun. Drive the entire beach once, although I prefer to walk and just take in the surroundings. The ocean terrify me, watching the waves in the distance I just get anxious, but we’ve seen ships and whales too. Will be back the next summer I hope. Thanks for the video, I wish I could live there, sleep with the sound of waves lol.

[@stevanwhitmore9650]

Thank you for letting me take a walk with you and your dog. Such a wonderful beach! I really enjoyed our walk and would like to do it again sometime. The beaches where I live in the arctic have the same wave dangers but for most of the year, the sea is frozen. Pressure ridges form on the ice standing up to 30 feet high from the tidal and wave action going on under the ice. Perhaps I will take a summer walk with my dog and post the video. I have to watch for sneaker waves and polar bears! Your dog would love to bark at a polar bear!

[@AngelaRPierce]

I would love to see that! Please send me a link when you do!

[@jonathanvasquez283]

You are both brave and reckless. Thank you for this amazing video

[@quailypoes]

You seem like a super cool person! And this video makes me feel lucky to be tucked in and relatively safe on Puget Sound. Your waves absolutely trounce ours!

[@AngelaRPierce]

Hey, Thanks! We (You and Me) are so lucky to live in such a beautiful state. I love the Puget Sound and I need to get up there again.

It's not just that the water can knock you down and pull you out away from the beach, it's also frigidly cold. You don't want to be immersed in it for a long time as you struggle to get back to land.

[@feth7747]

This is only samples, i remember near where i live, in a VERY SEVERE storm sneaker waves of several meters high, even three waves, one mount on another and breaking at the same time, the upper wave comes at incredible high speed and breaks a big part of the harbor, the blocks of this harbor was about 3x4m and united with steel bars, about 30-40m of the wall was destroyed, and about 5-6 meters high, thousands of tons of rock blocks was destroyed, was amazing. Storm of feb-1-2014, vizcay gulf.

[@AngelaRPierce]

The ocean is such a powerful force, and so amazing to watch!

[@pcm7315]

Videos like this keep people aware of the dangers to be aware of at the beach.

[@AngelaRPierce]

It sure would have sent a message if I had fallen in.

[@pcm7315]

@@AngelaRPierce Thank God you didn't fall in; otherwise, I don't think there would have been a message.

[@LadyAdakStillStands]

In 1966'ish Dad drove us to the coast in a 1940s Hudson to camp. Drives onto the beach (legal) and a mile later, goes to cross a drainage channel. Hudson sinks. Ma RUNS down beach to find a phone booth (no cell phones then) to call a tow truck. Rescued! Went home to Seattle silently.

[@AngelaRPierce]

What a memory! Glad that everyone was okay. I don't drive on the beach at all anymore. Getting stuck is embarrassing.

[@sunbeagle9769]

Good stuff, last time I visited LB was in 1984, the Olympics were in process. It was nice back then.

[@beexiong2995]

I do a lot of surf fishing here. I always check the swells, tides, wind before i head out.

[@kathiemounts5700]

Wow that was amazing thanks for sharing!!!

[@AngelaRPierce]

Thank YOU!

[@SnowPink90]

I’m glad you moved because I really didn’t want to see you fall and your dog get pulled out to sea. People are crazy to get close to waves that are unpredictable. I’ve seen cars and trucks get caught buried in 3-4in of sand when another wave hits. Scary.

[@AngelaRPierce]

You are absolutely 💯 percent correct!

[@monstersaint]

Nice vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@AngelaRPierce]

Thank you for watching!

[@navydogsadventures3500]

I grew up I Naselle, graduated in 1986, need to respect the power of the ocean!

The fog is like....can we leave now 🤣😅😂💖🌹🇺🇸

[@ericaerica9129]

Hi Angela, thank you for your video! Could you tell me what the glass balls are that you mentioned?

[@AngelaRPierce]

Hi Erica Erica! Thank you for your comment. They are Japanese glass floats that wash up on occasion. They are the great find of beach combing. They can be as small as a golf ball, or as large as a globe. The ones I've found are about the size of a baseball, which is most common. People who clean the beach are rewarded most.

[@ericaerica9129]

@@AngelaRPierce Thank you for your reply. I'd love to see one, I've never heard of them. Did the white truck in this video get swept away? Seemed like he was in the right spot to be in trouble when that wave came in😳🙈😬

[@parkersanderson180]

Wow 🤩 that’s cool how far the water comes up geez. I love the ocean it’s so pretty but can be really wavy and dangerous. Be careful and of course have fun. You’re right it is super cool

[@fjeldfross9327]

Your dog Looks Up to you Like: Stop gawking and talking Mom, thats Not what I Had in mind....🤣 But I don't think I could have resist to do the same... Beautiful place

[@sunbeagle9769]

Glass balls? Are you talking about the floaters attached to nets?

[@daizyguha4560]

Loved the scenario its really beautiful

[@AngelaRPierce]

Thank you!

[@americanrambler4972]

Hah hee hee. So you know about George and his beach tow shows. I get a kick out of those myself. I have been to the beach, but I don’t drive on it.

[@NorthwestAdventurerNWA]

George Hill is a Superstar out here on the Coast and if you don’t know him or have seen his work then you must be from out of town. 🤙🏽

Is this in Washington State?

[@AngelaRPierce]

Yes. Oysterville approach, specifically.

Way to go Ox! ... Ox says I aint scared mama, the sea air is good for us, c'mon, lets go!

[@phph1731]

Love the way you said, ‘I’m going to do something reckless. I’m going to go and stand on one of those humps.’ Sounds like a good motto for every day of life. Not ‘nutso’ (love that too), but standing on a hump with the dog watching waves. Memo to self: find equivalents and go do!🇬🇧

[@Soilhalo77]

Why is standing above the water line wreckless?

[@parkersanderson180]

It’s so impressive how far it comes up wow

[@bill3098]

Glass balls? 🤔

[@AngelaRPierce]

They get found, but not by me.

I love the penninsula, but knowing about the cascadia fault, elevation, and traffic access, I cannot relax enough to visit anymore. Great kite location.

[@AngelaRPierce]

If the Cascadia fault doesn't get us, the Yellowstone Supervolcano Eruption will.

So what is so special about an incoming tide? Not seeing anything abnormal. Seen more dramatic tidal changes on the east coast than what you showed in this video.

[@didibolter9362]

We were always told to have our dog on a leash!

[@AngelaRPierce]

When there's nobody around, we go off-leash. Especially when I'm shooting a video. Ever try to shoot a steady video with a dog? Not even possible. The sheriff's department and WDFW don't make an issue of it unless your dog is causing problems.

Normal wave behavior, not sneaker wave.

Those are some lame-ass sneaker waves.

I use that entrance every time I go up there. I have seen that beach get real nasty with storms
