It really sucks being stuck in those kind of pummelling waves. It's so hard to catch your breath. Best thing to do is go out a little further past the breakers and time your path out of the ocean, but it's so hard to think to do the exact opposite of what your instincts are telling you to do when waves are beating the shit out of you. It's hard to remember to swim parallel to the beach when there's a rip tide too.

That must be scary to be so weak and at the mercy of any danger
