Congrats on the white! Not sure why you jumped out the yak...safer to stay in and plow through straight on. It's almost impossible to flip over unless you get cock eyed or lean to much. Even with a wave dumping your scuppers should be able to drain out the water on deck even with some sinkage due to water weight. The water inside the yak is likely from your flush mounts which is minimal....there are ways to seal those. Unless you have hatches open...you'll definitely get water in. Some hatch seals on malibus are not super water tight as well. Regardless with constant forward head on momentum you'll make it everytime. Hesitate, don't commit, the wave will pull you back and sideways along with being at the mercy of white water. The only problem you should have is the wave knocking your fish finder off mount...if surf is big just connect btb. Assuming you have everything tied down.
