We experienced this not long ago on a beach we detect in England.We were following the tide out and all of a sudden,we would experience a large surge coming up the beach that would nearly reach the top of the beach.This happened more than once in the time we were detecting and eventually stopped us searching down by the low tide line.
My friend who is a surfer said he had never seen the tide behaving like this before.
It just goes to show that you are right to tell people to be vigilant while searching the beach by the sea.......thanks for the info.

Hi guys, yes here in England on Devon's north coast we have a 10 metre tidal range! When there's a storm out there some of the tidal surges are huge! Gotta be so careful on those midnight low tide hunts... Even when the tides going out they can really push a lot of water up the beach
I know what you are talking about. I am also a surf fishing angler. I do most of my fishing at night. I have put myself in some bad situations. I go mostly in the fall & spring, this is when the Strippers run on the east coast. I was caught by some unexpected waves.Lucky to have a belt on to stop the water from fill my boots up..As you can imagine it is hard to see a wave at night. There were times when the water seemed perfectly calm, then out of know where a large wave would crash in on you. In November & Dec. the water temp. in NJ goes around 45 to 50 degrees. You don't want to get wet when it is below freezing air temp.
.This can happen in broad daylight while metal detecting the wet sand just as easily.

I have had similar experiences on the East Coast, U S A. On a High tide a Large Freighter was leaving thru the channel, it must have been 300 feet long, and it pushed the waves along way. I almost lost my foot traction when it was coming in. It produced a strong tide going out from the high water mark.
