This is a truly shocking and tragic incident. I am quite stunned that this could happen, 5 people drowned in one go. Reports are saying the victims were experienced water people, including surf instructors and trained lifeguards. Some saying heavy sea foam was a factor, obviously in addition to the strong currents and waves created by the storm.

This is very sad

Condolences to the loved ones and the Dutch surfing/watersports community

I saw that story. Bizarre....must be that the surf foam is particularly heavy and unexpectedly difficult to deal with.

Could be a culprit.
Get our surfers into such water and none will survive either.

Apparently its a common killer of seafarers during cyclones. I used to work at sea and crew I worked with knew three guys killed off Onslow 20 years ago. They explained to me that during a cyclone the sea can whip up so much foam that it covers the boat, suffocating those onboard.

I thought after that it was is maybe the reason behind why some ghost ships are found with all dead onboard, unknown cause.

Avalanche of the ocean, sea foam slowly suffocate and disoriented
