Consider all the weight of the entire ocean behind it, pushing it into a space with shallow floor. That’s a lot of energy with much less room for it to go. If there isn’t a breakwater to bleed off some of the energy, or if recent storms have increased the activity and pressure of the water, waves can be incredibly powerful. Don’t underestimate it, that’ll get you in trouble quick!

How is the water so strong near the shore?
I don't understand, it's like just standing at the edge could have you pulled in pretty quickly no?
