  • 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.

    To save you time:
    It’s essentially a riptide and you’ll get stuck. (Current will pull you out to the ocean and under water, likely drowning you)
    Edit: lol I didn’t know people were actually gonna see it but yw to everyone who said thank you; glad to help 😌

    About 2005 or 06 I saw something that looked like the Square Sea on the Yucatan East Coast between the mainland and Cozumel. There is no high ground there to observe the sea as there is on the French Island. What I saw was from the water's edge. A normal wave pattern (but larger) was coming in parallel to the mainland beach from the southeast. At the time a massive hurricane ( Rita) was in the Gulf of Mexico playing havoc with the current. I stood on a small point of land opposite Cozumel and watched in amazement as waves from the northeast crashed a right angles the incoming wave sets. Both sets were about 6ft high and hit together with great force. From 2001 to 2010 I traveled there extensively doing survey work in the jungle along the coast before all the big resort hotels were built. I never saw anything like it before or after. I was visiting a friend that was a scuba instructor. She ventured out alone beyond the reef and was swept about 15 Km in about 20 minutes underwater. She said she just let the current take her until she was at a place where she could get out. This was her 1st experience like that. People flock to that area for the beautiful beaches and clearest water (100 feet underwater). The currents can be very strong. If you are not familiar with the are, I advise you to only swim on beaches with life guards, don't venture past the reefs unless you are with a pro, and NEVER ignore a Red Flag.

    Me and my little brother almost drowned at Florida beach because the tides were pulling us In soooo deep and we can’t touch the ground. We had water in our nose eyes and mouth. I tried pulling him towards me but that just made both of us get pulled even deeper!! That’s when we started screaming “HELP!! Help us!!!” Luckily we were not too deep so there was a man who noticed us and pulled us up and out. He was Spanish with awesome hair and he saved us both. I said gracias because I don’t think he spoke English but that’s ok because I don’t speak much Spanish either so he saved us and he’s the BEST… but I feel so scared when I think about that incident… keep away if your city is in a high tide, and never go to deep. I was so lucky and I’m glad that man exists. We didn’t have much so we gave him some Doritos for saving our lives. I’m so lucky I wish I could tell that man more😨😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺😩😩😩😩😩🤗🤗🤗🤗🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹😄😄😄😄😄😄 it was traumatic but happy ending yayyyyyy tysm man I told my parents and they were soo worried and my dad told me and my brother how to escape if that happens again: find a sand bar or use a boogie board to go to shore and right before a wave comes, push forward. I don’t think it was helpful because when my mom went in she felt how it was pulling her in so uh yeah!! Don’t swim in high tides, that means if the beach water is going near or on that wet sand part then it’s to dangerous. I’m 12 and my brother is 10.. WE ARE ALIVEEEEEEE

    I was swimming in Cornwall not to deep but just having fun with my family and I went underwater to have a look and when I came to the surface everyone was screaming and whistles were being blown all around me. I didn’t understand why because I was I’m between the safe swimming flags. I was picked up by a my mum I didn’t understand why I could swim perfectly fine. I soon found myself being dragged far away from the beach and after a lot of struggle I got back to the beach. I was very confused but later found out it was a riptide. The ocean looked crazy and there were still loads of ppl trying to get out. Lesson : stay calm when u are aware ur in a riptide try and swim around it and keep ur head above the water.

    When the two seas cross over, it’s called a cross sea, and they can create square wave patterns that are essentially a riptide and they will consume you, it’s possible to get out of them, but hard. Square waves have only been spotted in one place, and that’s the island of rhe.

      Its not the fact that they are two seas that necessarily cause the crossing pattern, but rather the opposing directions in which the two waters are flowing that cause the waves to make the pattern.
      As it said in the video, it can happen in other places because of differing weather
      patterns causing the waves to come in from different directions. It just isn’t as noticeable because of the range the waves come from.

    As rare and exciting as a square wave is, they are also very dangerous. They cause powerful riptides that prove very difficult to get out of- for people and even ships. With waves that can reach over 10 feet in the air, they are believed to be the cause of many shipwrecks and boating accidents

    This left out Cape Disappointment, and the Columbia Bar in the northwest Atlantic Ocean near Washington State, U.S. The water there, much like the great lakes, is particularly unpredictable with many underwater hazards and strong currents - so much so, that even large ships are known to avoid the Columbia bar where possible.

    No there is a cross wave at-a tiny cove in Norfolk UK, I live there and I go in but there is only a space of 6x6 you can dunk in, it’s the most beautiful clean water, because no one swims there the swell is so hard that there is a ledge of pebbles built up from every tide, plenty of fishermen back caste from the Top of the small ledge the village is tiny and it’s name is Weybourne, if you do not keep to the far right hand side of the dip, and literally stay 2ft to the beach you’ll end up in Amsterdam, a few years ago I had to teach some French tourists to watch the clear lines of where the two swells meet luckily they took my advice to heart and had a one at a time crystal clear blue clean salt bath like no other , if you walk past the front of the cliff and get in there you’ll be gone.
    When you live near the coast all your life you watch out for things like this, but the big warning sign is a full no sand pebble beach, especially one with a ledge of pebbles !👀👁️👀🗣️👀

    I'm a Barbadian, It's true, you shouldn't even get your FEET in the water, the currents are stronger than you think, some people have been dragged in the water by WAVES when they don't even get in the water, just go to the beaches other than those, don't swim my St James fish Market near the big rock cause it have strong waves and over there in the calmer waters are filled with sea eggs and sea earchans, the east cost is also a place to have sharks, so anywhere but those two places are OK, just remember sometimes our waters can be cold so u get ready for a splash, one fun experience that some people might not like is going to thunderbay beach in Saint James, its near the fish market but has no sea earchans, the only way that beach gets waves is from storms and jetskees, it also can be fun to hang out with stingrays ever time and time, I've went to that beach my whole life and I've only seen a stingray twice, ofcourse thsi happens every few years so u don't need to worry don't go to the crouded beaches, those are mostly litter spots for tourists, but anyways! I hope when some visit our nit so beautiful island anymore we can clean up and have no more litter:)

Thirdly, of course he’s going to stretch it out to 10 minutes, what’s he going to do, not make money? And the video is not even 10 minutes long.
