   So tonight’s been a little scary.

   This happened just before high tide at 1:38 AM. Leading up to this photo, I was furiously throwing everything in my pack just in case and prepared to scramble up the bluff.

   It was really really close.

   I even asked a few locals on the way here if the tide ever reached the beach wall and they all said no.

   Welp.

     @thanius yea… I think I could’ve climbed high enough to be safe, but definitely would’ve lost all my gear

     I did my research and I studied the tide charts and everything. But mother nature isn’t always predictable.

     @sharan I am safe. The tide started receding now. I don’t think that could’ve been any closer.

     I am safe, just wanted to confirm that. Tent got hit a couple times by the waves, but it’s dry inside so everything is good there.

     Tide is receding. Jesus, I have never seen a tide crawl so far up the beach before.

     @elaterite yup, I’m familiar with sneaker waves. But Mother Nature humbled me again.

     @killyourfm I'd guess you are aware that the Oregon coast is famous for its sneaker waves, right?

     If not, I'd recommend that you review the following:
