Jump out, grab the kayak mid section handle, like a " T ".
Kayak parallel to the shore, wave coming behind you.
Float your feet out, let the wave push you in.
Safe and easy.

I found point the kayak at the beach will sometime flip over too.
Just my 2 cents.

I honestly didn't think I was gonna go vertical like that. All others times I've just rode the wave in and never kick me up like that. But then again, I never went out when there were such big waves. I didn't even have time to think about that. I just trusted my experience...which wasn't that much. Thank you for the advice. I'll jump in next time. I didn't know how deep it was so that's why I was afraid to jump in.
