On days like this the ocean is loud and rogue waves are a real threat. In the best case maybe you get a little, or a lot, wet. Maybe your camera equipment gets destroyed. In the worst case you are smashed against rocks along the shoreline, pulled out to sea, and are never seen again. Rogue waves should not be underestimated. They kill people every year and can be large enough to sink ships.
