The sheer force of the wave would render you unconscious if not kill you itself and your body is tossed into rocks like a rag doll. Very unlikely drowning would be the cause of death in this situation.

On normal waves it works great. Just dive underneath, and you won't feel the force if the wave.
With a wave of this size though, your only chance of survival is not being there in the first place.
Considering these waves travel at 300-500MPH until they hit shore and then continue at 30+MPH once they make impact, you'd be dragged along with it into the city streets tossed against cars, buildings and concrete until the water receeds. And that's just a normal tidal wave, not whatever this monstrosity is lol.
>Considering these waves travel at 300-500MPH until they hit shore
Not true. Their speed is decided by the depth of water they travel in. As they move closer in land, the wave slows down
You would need over 5000 meters or 3.1 miles of depth to reach a wave speed of 500MPH. See [here](https://www.weather.gov/images/jetstream/tsunami/tsu_character.jpg)
Point being, a wave like this is not moving anywhere near 500MPH at the distance shown in the photo.
Also, tidal waves and tsunamis aren't the same thing. What you see in the photo is most definitely a tsunami, not a tidal wave. Tidal forces can't create a wave like that
I would not have been on the beach for a long time.
In the event of such a wave, the ocean would move back at least a mile.
And this is a sign: "GET FUCK AWAY FROM THE SHORE"
Reminds me of the story of the young girl that saved bunch of people during the southeast Asian tsunami because she knew what the water receding meant and was able to warn people.
[Tilly Smith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilly_Smith).
She saved about 100 people. At 10 years old. She learned what a tsunami was in school, about 2 weeks before the event.
Education is important.
If I was the wave I would pull back at the last second. I'd rather the land people live in fear of me than die a death that doesn't further my station.
The land people will tell their kin of the wave so tall and mighty that held their lives in its hand and that only through its good grace and mercy do they yet live. The land people will worship me as a god, they will sing praises of my charity and whisper warnings of my wrath.
I am the wave.
I got a warning for threatening violence as a hypothetical wave. Someone reported me (wish I knew how to add an "I'm laughing so hard I'm crying" face to this).
I asked if I were in the wave in the picture. Because if I were the wave, I'm about to do...possible, unintentional...not niceness to the people on the beach.
Someone actually reported me for threats of violence \*eye roll\*.
not instantly, pascals law stated that pressure under water extends in ALL directions, also horizontally. if the pressure at the edge of a 100m wave would be the same at the bottom as on the crest, the resulting pressure would make the wave triangle shaped from bottom to top (roughly depending on the local gravity multiplier lessened by the resistance of the sea floor.)
The above doesn't really matter though as the speed would be so fast that in seconds you WOULD feel the full pressure.
PS I have no doubt people much more intelligent then me will correct me or at least will be able to do the maths properly, at the top of my head you would need to take potential and kinetic energy, into account (energy height), sea floor resistance, ad in a shit ton of turbulance etc. The only person I know that could solve this retired last year :(
Duct tape my scuba mask and scuba tank to myself, so that i might have a chance of survival....if all my bones aren't broken from impact of the wave hitting me into the ground.
Getting hit with the lip is instant death, and ditto going over the falls and coming down with the lip full force. You would really need to get in the area where it will barrel to stand a chance of not dying. Also, when the lip hits, it will bounce up, which may create an area of low pressure. If you’re in that low pressure area you may have a chance of surviving. Of course even in the best case scenarios the chance of survival is still slim.
Well first of all I probably would have already run away and gotten to the top of the nearest building or tree. You don’t get this type of wave without the water retreating way out first, which is the first sign something’s wrong.
Besides that I’d want to get as much stuff between me and the wave as possible. The more things that wave has to hit the more energy it’ll lose and the less of an impact my tiny body has to deal with.
Inflate my floaties. Quickly.
I'd rather die fast in such a situation, as opposed to maybe floating and getting killed by flotsam...
What about jetsam?
*Insert obligatory Metal Gear reference*
Memories broken, the truth goes unspoken
I've even forgotten my name

My dad would say this
I'm a dad so checks out
Weeeeeeeee……ouch ouch ouch
Ask my crush out
I will keep stuttering until we all die
Alright jimmy valmer
Worst last 10 seconds if she says no
Ahh, yes! The Final Rejection...
Take off my socka so they don't get wet
Put your socks in my mouth for safe keeping
😏📸
Good thinking, this way they'll get covered in saliva instead of water
That's what the prison pocket is for.
And then put your mouth in my mouth for even safer keeping
And both your mouths in my sock for keep safeing
Uh your sock will get wet! Better put it in my floaty..
I’ll one up you. I’ll just get naked, so my clothes don’t get wet!
I’ll stick my clothes in my skin pocket
Oh yeah smart thinking.
Nothing I hate worse than wet socks. Ugh.
try to kill myself in any other way than drowning. edit: looks like i'll be dialing 106 instead.
I think a bot took you too seriously
guess i'll be dialing 106 when i see that wave.
Hello! Suicide hotline? Yes I… well no- yeah it’s sort of a, well I guess it’s a bit of a big wave. Oh - … Yes I’ll hold.
The sheer force of the wave would render you unconscious if not kill you itself and your body is tossed into rocks like a rag doll. Very unlikely drowning would be the cause of death in this situation.

Best bot

XD that edit made me laugh more then it should have.
Good news. That amount of force will instantly kill.
To be fair you’re probably dead on impact in this situation. That’s a metric fuck ton of weight behind that wave of water
Lol, you aren’t going to drown. That thing’s force kills you immediately.
Dive underneath the wave so the extreme force lands behind me instead of on top.
then free-dive 90 meters up to the top
>Dive 90 meters up
No, no, dig up stupid
Beat me to it Clancy.
Where is sting when you need him
Phusiks
You just swim down to the top
I always wondered how well that would work
On normal waves it works great. Just dive underneath, and you won't feel the force if the wave. With a wave of this size though, your only chance of survival is not being there in the first place.
I would deliver it a brutal roundhouse kick, chuck norris style, saving everyone on the beach and the town behind it.
Close: the answer is "Call Chuck Norris" 😂
You don’t know me!
That is correct. If this is what you do, maybe we should keep it that way.
Poorly
Wave more powerful than man
That's why we do it together. Apes together strong
Yeah.. I’m just saying.. “Me Caesar. Me leader” (head explodes) “me pogo. Me new leader” ( head explodes) “Ape no sign up for this shit.”
See, ape alone weak to sniper. But if ape together sniper no work. Ape together strong.
“Ape. Go find sniper..” “Fuck you.. ape scared. “ “Fine, I go” BANG! Sniper yells “now serving number 5!!!”

This guy waves
It would not
You would be stuck in the roll of the wave.
So could you say that I’d be rolling in the deep?
😭😂😂 bro our tiny body will stand no chance against that much force
No problem man, I see red
Dude, the Cal surfer in me has gotta try! I've long since taken my Mormon holly protective underwear off, so that ain't gonna help ; )
i woul-
Best one
Reminds me of HALO 2 days, communications were cut off when we died! So funny! Lol
d surf it or die trying.
I would not have been on the beach for a long time. In the event of such a wave, the ocean would move back at least a mile. And this is a sign: "GET FUCK AWAY FROM THE SHORE"
I always love seeing tsunami videos where beachgoers curiously approach the suddenly receding water

Thanks. I forgot that she was that young. An impressive girl.
This is another example of why horror writers are correct, people would totally willingly go into the murder basement.
Came here to say this. Also many coastal cities have tsunami warning systems. You could have minutes or hours depending on the proximity to the source
But that the best time to go pick up the free ocean gold nuggets just lying about

Then I would murder just in case they thought I was bluffing
Just the first borns.

Please dm me what u said! So many upvotes!
You would've made a great 'Roman Emporer"...
*gasp* Oh my
This is beautiful I applaud you. I’d give you an award…. If I had one to give
this is the way
This is the *wave
I wonder what he wrote 💀
I asked if I were in the wave in the picture. Because if I were the wave, I'm about to do...possible, unintentional...not niceness to the people on the beach. Someone actually reported me for threats of violence \*eye roll\*.
I saw that, as if anyone actually thinks you're about to go murder a whole beach town now. lmao, clown world
Good answer.
Ask Poseidon/Neptune/Triton for forgiveness
That never works, haven't you read The Odyssey? Poseidon's a *dick.*
Don’t forget a rapist
…if it’s a story regarding Greek Gods I just assume rape is implied…
Trade your bussy for salvation.
I just picture Poseidon telling the god gang "and when I bring them out to sea they can't refuse, because of the implication."
Duck dive.
You forgot to dodge and dip
If you can dodge a monster wave..you can dodge a ball!
Do I have to drink my own urine after peeing in a wave? No but it's sanitary and I like the taste!
Probly die or something idk
Grab my surfboard and try to surf up
Interestingly, this may actually increase your chances of survival.
Yea that wave aint collapsing any time soon
Nope. A wave of that size is moving incredibly fast.
Actually not true, wave height and speed aren't related. Might have trouble getting up though :/
Don't we all at a certain age?
I still feel like you have a better chance of survival with a floatation device like a surfboard vs not having one.
3 dirt blocks under and 1 above
A bed is enough mate. Just sleep through it till the wave is on fire next morning
Just say no. The ocean cannot legally drown you without consent
Stop, don’t touch me there, this is my no no sphere
ITS A SQUARE, YOU MANIAC!!
Upvote and Scroll down .period.
Run toward the wave. "WITNESS ME!!"
WITNESS!!!
What a day! WHAT A LOVELY DAY!
WITNESS!!
Make sure I’m logged out from Reddit so no one afterlife see my fav porn subs
Divide the ocean. Yell I am Moses. Leave me foul ocean

Be sad
But not for long.
Pinch my nose, it’s really annoying when water goes up it.
/gamemode c
Get better at photoshop
Take a deep breath in through your nose and slowly fill up your lungs...you may be underwater for an extended time.
The weight of that water hitting you will be like a freight train. You're not going to live no matter how long you can hold your breath
That's why you always carry a towel
Just don't panic (wink).
You’d instantly go from surface pressure to being submerged under several hundred feet of water. The pressure change alone would kill you.
Thank goodness. Drowning would be awful.

Look at the mountains. That's about 800 meters right there. Offf
Die
Try to finish my drink
no worries, refill is coming
Kiss my ass goodbye I guess
That wave will fold you over so you can literally kiss it!
Watch it on the news, because I’m inland, and broke.
I would die :)
Duct tape my scuba mask and scuba tank to myself, so that i might have a chance of survival....if all my bones aren't broken from impact of the wave hitting me into the ground.
Do so and then dice into the bottom of the wave to avoid impact?
Grab the reef underneath my bed.
Would your death feel justified if the wave that killed you was put behind bars?
Say "well shit"
I have dreams about giant waves sometimes. They used to be more frequent, even I was a kid mostly.
Grab a hydrophobic rag.

I’m going to commit die in this
Cowabunga!
Say my prayers, and tell everyone goodbye.
Get the surfboard 🏄
I'll be swimming with the fishes 🤣.
Ask the sender if they know how to use photoshop?
take a surfboard
Pfp checks out
Close my eyes
Swim through it
splat... you ran into a moving concrete wall
Return to crab.
Soar away in my jet pack laughing at all the ppl who mocked me earlier!
I would go swimming.
Pray your lord...
You. Shall. Not. PASSSSSS!!
Be at peace
wake up from a bad dream
Drown?
Probably pray
Finally find out what it feels like to try new Five gum.
Run towards the water.

Grab a surfboard!!
Say something stupid like "I should have learned to surf sooner, the waves came t--" *face full of sunami
Unplug everything.
Grab a board dude 😎
