When my family was visiting over Christmas, they went to the beach. A normally cautious member of my family (I'll call her Moom, or, maybe, Renda) told me later how she had a lot fun walking to the end of a rock jetty (below). I was surprised she took the risk and mentioned how waves sometimes surprise people and knock them into the water.


I bring it up because, yesterday, a middle-aged man and women were swept off the jetty by a rogue wave (large and unexpected), and they have not been found. Careful Moom.
