The surf and ocean currents there are pretty stout on a normal day.

For sure. I'm 6'2" 230lbs with my feet dug into the sand ankle deep in knee high water, picking up shells. A wave came in and literally planted me face first on the beach.

I don't get to the ocean much, but I never see waves like that in Michigan!

Very true. You weren’t even in the big stuff though, that’s on down Hatteras, at the lighthouse to an extent but really at Cape Point. There, the horizon looking out to sea is jagged. Waves as far as the eye can see. The sound of them, I love it, and the mist that shoots out of a big barrel when it breaks, very cool like it’s alive or something.
