![[BREAKING] Terrifying video captures moment California woman is sucked into the ocean by sneaker wave in Pacifica](https://nypost.com/wp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2Fpacifica-fisherwoman-says-lucky-alive-131750317.jpg?w%3D1024)
This is the terrifying moment a California fisherwoman was swept into the ocean by a powerful sneaker wave.
Bae Cadotte, a 47-year-old Pacifica resident, was fishing off the beach south of the Pacifica Pier on Tuesday when the water hit, knocking her over and dragging her about 30 feet from shore.
A webcam captured the terrifying moment when the wave hit Cadotte and swept her into the surf.
"I felt like I was spinning around in a washing machine," Cadotte told ABC.
She described the wave coming without warning and said she immediately realized the danger she was in.
“It just swallowed me up,” he said.
"At that moment I knew she had come, I was going in.
She was going to get me.
There's no way I'm getting out of this." Carried away by the water, Cadotte decided not to fight the immense force of the wave and instead surrendered her fate to a higher power.
“I closed my eyes, I said a prayer: God, if this is your will, I understand, but please don't let me leave my son,” she said.
Cadotte eventually resurfaced after several minutes in the water.
Nearby fishermen rushed to help her, throwing her a rope and pulling her back to shore.
“Thank you for risking your life to save mine,” he told them later.
First responders arrived shortly after and took Cadotte to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, where she was treated for hypothermia.
Other ocean rescues have also been reported recently.
A mother and her daughter were swept into the waves at Baker Beach in San Francisco, but were rescued.
Two Bay Area college students died after being swept into the ocean in Santa Cruz.
In Southern California, the danger also became clear after the body of 5-year-old Amada Mia Brown was recovered after a powerful wave swept her family into the ocean in Laguna Beach.
These waves are especially common along steep, deep coastlines, including parts of the Pacific Northwest and northern California.
Sneaker waves are unusually large coastal waves that can emerge on a beach much higher than expected.
They are difficult to predict and can appear even on calm, sunny days without warning.
Some researchers estimate that about three out of every 10,000 waves in the ocean reach “rogue wave” or sneaker wave status.
