Had to hurt with all of the barnacles, mussels and other pointy sea creatures living on those rocks.

Very foolish to be there. There was already water from the breaking waves on the rock top, and even a wave that only reached his knees could have swept.him off, let alone that monster.

It is astonishing that he survived that. The rangers who rescued him must have been in great danger.

Well, true.
But not much of a difference in the Bay area.

I think one’s only chance would be to swim out to sea to avoid getting smashed against the rocks and look for a calmer place to land.

There’s a lot of souls in those oceans, and they’re always looking for more company.

It's hard to believe he was so unaware. How do you not know the ocean is not calm as you are walking on a day like that?

I doubt that was the only wave that was that big. Swells vary, occasionally you get the set of the day, but that's not normal to have a "rogue wave" as they described it. Perhaps that was the big one of the day, but they don't just suddenly come in like the article implies.
