Fatal accidents of surfing beginners (3)-You are swept offshore by strong offshore winds

Offshore is one of the conditions for good wave shape. However, beginners need to be careful.

The wind today is very strong offshore. Surfers are swept away by the wind. With the power and skill of Oliver’s paddle, it may be swept away.

It is important to feel fear. For you to survive. Don’t overdo it.

There are two types of winds on the coast: offshore and onshore.
Offshore is the wind that blows from land to the sea. Onshore is the wind that blows from the sea to the land. It is often onshore during the day, but it can also be offshore depending on the pressure distribution and terrain.

The surfer is floating in the water. If the offshore is strong, it will be washed offshore and you will not be able to return to the shore.

If offshore is strong, there may be no way to go back. If you are swept offshore faster than you paddle, it is impossible to return to the shore.

Offshore may be more dangerous than lip current. The lip current is part of the ocean. If you move with a paddle, you will arrive at a place without lip current. You can return to the shore from where there is no current.

But offshore, the wind is blowing all over the ocean. So you have no way back to the shore.

It’s easier to die than you think.

The safest thing is to stay out of the sea. Even if you arrive at the sea, do not enter the sea on dangerous days.
Also, even if the wind is weak when entering the sea, the wind may become stronger later.
In that case, always check how much you are being swept away.
If you notice that it is being washed off the coast, return to the shore while you are still physically fit.

There is an accident in which a bather is killed by strong offshore. Especially dangerous is when using a float. Floating rings are strongly affected by the wind. Therefore, even if it is weak offshore, it will be washed offshore in a short time. Please be careful enough.
