There are some waves that you really don’t ever want to encounter when you’re swimming in the ocean. Square waves look like a giant chess board over the ocean. It’s pretty awesome but incredibly dangerous.

SUMMARY:
– If you look off the western coast of France, you’ll see the Isle of Rhe. The coolest part about it is what you see just beyond the shore: square waves. This strange wave pattern looks like a giant chess board over the ocean.
– When two different swells coming from opposite directions meet, it’s known as a cross sea. This is what generates these square waves you see near the Isle of Rhe.
– Because these two seas have totally different weather conditions, a unique pattern emerges when they collide. They create a riptide that’s stronger than your average wave – way stronger than what you’ve probably experienced at the beach with regular waves.
– There have been a handful of cases where people got caught in the cross sea, but, thankfully and luckily, they managed to get out safely.
– These square waves have become somewhat famous over time given that there’s really no other place in the world that boasts a cross sea like this one.
– The Boiling Lake on the Island of Dominica is one body of water you’ll definitely want to stay away from. From high heat to strong gas emissions, there are plenty of reasons to stay out of The Boiling Lake.
– You’ll probably want to steer clear of the town of West End on Grand Bahama Island. This deadly beach is known for being one of the most shark-infested beaches in the world.
– While the south and west coasts of Barbados are ideal for swimming and snorkeling, the east and north beaches have incredibly strong tides that can be quite treacherous.
– Condado Beach in Puerto Rico is a desirable destination in the city of San Juan. However, the beach’s mighty waves and powerful current make this a very dangerous place to go swimming.

What a waste of time.
I saw it on malaysia at 2023 may 14
I once went to condado beach
A lot of information in this video is incorrect. These waves usually occur when a wave wraps around an object or bounces off a cliff/pier and hits itself. They cam be seen all over the place.
They are somewhat more dangerous than just a normal wave but not always dangerous.
They make it so you're getting hit by the swell twice as often, from 2 different directions. And at the intersection the power of the wave will be doubled. But they're not really inescapable like the video claims.
i came from tiktok zzz
Stopped watching as soon as this narrator said Subscribe BEFORE watching. That's like paying for a meal and tipping the waiter before earing the meal. Sigh oh nahrah
I swam in the ocean on may 11. 2023 (Thursday)
Why
I mean more deaths are caused by cows than sharks so the shark one isn’t extremely dangerous haha 😅
I dont know is this a "Bright side"
Classified stuffs
Back when I used to be a Lifeguard at Sarah Constant beach at the entrance to Willoughby Spit in the Ocean View part of Norfolk Virginia there was a saying that went 'if you get more than a half mile from the beach, you aren't coming back,' which was basically because the currents were too extreme….
This was true to some degree, in fact, I actually got in trouble once here, for saving a life believe it or not. Well, not really in trouble, but transferred to be a Lifeguard at the Northside Swimming Pool because I swam out past that point to bring this lady back to shore who had let herself float out too far!!
