 Swimmers risk getting violently pounded onto the sand by a wave, or "chundered" (usually kayaking terminology) by waves dumping into a deep trench along the shoreline, but can generally avoid getting chundered by moving towards dry land or ducking under the break of the wave and swimming back to shore in smaller waves.In 2014, five-year-old Chayce Kofe drowned after he was swept off the shore by a large wave.Gosford City Council continues to oppose danger signs despite calls from the local Member Kathy Smith to erect them.
