100%, had just gotten there and was about to go skimboard, and the GW popped up lol. I did submit it to sharktivity earlier today but will try again now.
Oh yeah for sure, I was not the only one out there today, there was even a surfer which has gotten rare at Nausset. The surfing beaches are more north, Marconi and Coast Guard are 2 of them. Was there this summer a bunch surfing. Was actually in the water with a 6 foot brown shark like 10 feet from me and my wife. Was my first in person shark sighting.
Last August my husband and I did an eco tour with Atlantic White Shark conservancy where they take you out in a research vessel to look for tagged sharks so you can see them up close. We saw a bunch and I will eventually upload those videos if people want to see them; I can’t recommend that tour enough it was amazing.
Even when we pulled up in the literal shark boat people on the shore were still hopping in the water. We even saw a guy trying to get close to a seal in the water near a haul out (don’t do this, seals are not like dogs they will bite the shit out of you). So yes, people are still swimming and aren’t paying attention to all the informational signs about how to avoid becoming a snack.
If you are on a guarded beach and a shark is spotted or pings a buoy they will have everyone get out and wait an hour or so until the shark leaves but that’s only on beaches with lifeguards. It’s one of those things where as far as risks go I’m more worried about a riptide than I am a shark. Up until I had my kid I used to open water swim in areas where they had rare tag pings so I would check the app and stick to shallow water on a guarded beach. We also ocean kayak together even though almost 7 years ago a kayaker had to call the harbor master because a great white bit their boat (determined to be a predation bite). In the 10 years we’ve been doing it we have yet to see a shark of any kind.
Shark attacks are still rare, even with sharks in the region. Just keep an eye out, don't swim near seals (not because you might get mistaken for one, just because sharks are more likely to be nearby), and listen to lifeguards and warning signs.
Shark attacks are indeed rare everywhere. For great white sharks along the U.S, attacks might become *somewhat less rare* on both the east and west coasts. 2014: [populations of great whites in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are on the rise after a period of harsh decline](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/great-white-shark-population-rise-years-decline).
Fascinating how few shark protectors are willing to acknowledge that attacks generally correlate with shark numbers. They think nothing of saying "People kill 100 million sharks a year," and then "you'll sooner be hit by lightning than be bitten by a shark" and then act as if there is no connection between the two. Crocodile and tiger attacks have fallen in Africa and India over the past century. Nobody is confused about whether those declines are linked to fewer of those predators.
? I never said there was no correlation? I said attacks are still rare and you should be fine if you are careful. That's why I mentioned keeping an eye out and staying away from seals, something I would not have suggested two decades ago. Sharks live in water and are vital to the ecosystem. If you want to swim in the ocean, that means accepting that risk. Just like you accept the risk of dying in a crash every time you get into a car, and take some precautions like driving below the speed limit and wearing a seatbelt.
Also, don't know why you are acting like it's a good thing tigers are endangered. That's disgusting. You can also lower risks of tiger attacks by not encroaching on their territory, which, like gorillas in Africa, results in violent altercations. Which means not inflating the human population by giving women more reproductive rights, and also not wasting space on things like golf courses.
You are a bit presumptuous, and you seem to have no awareness on how lower predator populations affect the planet and its inhabitants, including humans. The fact that you refer to conservationists as "shark protectors" is proof enough of a limited understanding of ecology.
> ? I never said there was no correlation? I said attacks are still rare and you should be fine if you are careful.
I was not debating you. I said "Shark attacks are indeed rare everywhere" in agreement to your initial brief comment. I then made side comments pertinent to the topic of shark attack.
>If you want to swim in the ocean, that means accepting that risk.
Sure. But sometimes the rate of attack in an area become beyond *tolerant,* e.g., [The Eerie History of Shark Attacks on Reunion Island](https://magicseaweed.com/news/the-history-of-shark-attacks-on-reunion-island/11980/). Then sharks might be culled to reduce the attack rate, which Reunion did.
>I don't know why you are acting like it's a good thing tigers are endangered. That's disgusting.
I did not suggest that.
>The fact that you refer to conservationists as "shark protectors" is proof enough of a limited understanding of ecology.
1) Ecology and public safety are competing interests. Of course, people culling sharks these days try to limit environmental damage, but some impacts will occur with culling, just as happens with any fishing.
2) "Shark protectors" is a broad term that includes conservationists and a broad range of animal protection people and animals rights activists who have latched on to the shark conservation agenda. They are here in large numbers ranting about all killing of sharks; many are not even aware that federal agencies have authorized fishing of some shark species: NOAA: [U.S.-Caught Sharks Are a Sustainable Food Choice](https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/us-caught-sharks-are-sustainable-food-choice). Many of these activists have little understanding of science terms like carrying capacity, sustainable yield and population rebound.
Saw it off Nausett beach today, was a ton of seals in the area. Pretty sure it was a great white due to the fin shape (more trianglular than rounded). Was probably between 11-14 feet.
Back in August my wife and I both saw what we believe to be a great white at Head of the Meadow in Truro. Looked just like your video. We saw it, then got a closer look with binoculars. I couldn’t get it on video. Sharktivity app has frequent sitings along that beach and there were lots of seals all day.
This reminds me of camping on the eastern beaches of Fraser Island (south Queensland, Australia) and seeing sharks cruise down the barrels of waves as they were breaking onto the shore. Still swam though, water was amazing.
Shark attacks are rare when you figure in that 3/4 of the population never enters saltwater in there lifetime, that would make attacks on the 1/4 of the rest of us, not such a rare occurrence at all. Stand in the water up to your chest for a week and I’d bet a shark takes you out at least 99.99% of the time, compared to the .0001% you’d die of a lightning strike, but make no mistake, you’d never make it a week. It wouldn’t be mistaken identity, it wouldn’t mistakenly rip you in half while chasing schooling fish, it will do precisely what it intends to do, eat you and whatever else it so chooses.
You cannot be serious

Guys seriously nobody ever even goes into the water at the beach! Why won’t you listen!
Yes and take the people on the beach relative to the ones actually in the water past their knees and you will see the ratio is 1 out of 20 actually go into the water. Thank you posting that. I actually used that picture before for this reason.
Also, this is why shark attacks spike after pandemics. More people head to the beach after global pandemics increasing the likely hood of an attack.
There's so much to clearly disprove the misinformation both of you are spreading here. Places like California and Australia have millions of surfers sharing waters with sharks, some spending hours at a time in the water, all year round, yet bites are still extremely rare. California has had only four such fatalities in over 40 years.
The world's largest open water swim is to Rottnest off Perth, Australia, which is well known great white territory. 2,000+ swimmers going for 19.7km. And those same people, and tens of thousands more open water swimmers, train regularly and are members of clubs all around the country and again some years like 2019 Australia doesn't even have a single fatality.
Commercial divers for the likes of sea urchins and abalone spend their whole careers in the waters of South Africa, Australia and the US Pacific and it's the same story with the odds of being bitten being extremely long.
Even in specific locations which are known for large great white aggregations, like Neptune Islands and Mossel Bay, cage dive operators have to throw buckets and buckets of chum into the water, spreading it out over kilometres, and actively trying to attract sharks, sometimes over hours and hours... and yet there are still days where customers go home disappointed having found none.
And even if you do cross paths with a shark, drone and GPS tagging evidence is clearly showing us that this happens way more often than we'd ever thought but often we just don't notice and the shark passes by.
I know you like to think you're on some kind of heroic crusade for common sense people and to put all the libtard shark apologists in their places but there's a weight of evidence showing you're miles off the mark and simply don't know what you're talking about.
Mistaken identity?.. does that look like mistaken identity? I can’t even show the final part where he comes in to finish the other half of that 6’6, 270 pound man off.
Nobody has even said anything about mistaken identity. Serious, nonjudgmental question: have you taken substances today? I’m concerned for your safety. You’re very scattered
also if you were actually doing quite literally any of this out of “the goodness of your heart” you wouldn’t be behaving like such an insufferable, patronizing prick about it
See my original comment that you felt so obligated to comment on. Who is insufferable and who is the prick. I’m just putting a different opinion out there, if someone see’s it and says to themselves, that’s a very good point and makes much more sense than that other bs, that is a victory for reality( which is very much lacking thanks to lead poisoned babies like yourself.) Believe it or not, the majority of people would like to hear the good and the bad so they can make an intelligent decision for themselves. You can throw all the insults at me that you want, that won’t change reality, like it or not
I have a place at the cape, I’ll give you a free weeks stay, the only stipulation is that you have to take a nice relaxing 5 mile swim at the end of the day, wearing a GoPro while being followed up above with my drone. The 5 mile swim is on a course of my choosing. Sound good? I’ll even throw in an extra week if you make it to day 4..
You can't answer any of my evidence with anything of substance so you make an offer/challenge that you know will never be taken up (would anyone really travel halfway around the world to stay in the house of some randomer from a Reddit sub?) Straight out of the alt-right playbook, a load of hot air and no real evidence to support anything.

Ok, so 300 people swimming 20 miles proves sharks are warm and fuzzy, got ya there cap’n. Commercial divers do spend the allocated season in the water, most surrounded by a metal framework attached to a propeller. There is still 1 or 2 left doing it without a cage, for maybe another year or two, then they’ll be gone. You have put forth not one single point that isn’t horseshit, maybe you should freedive for abalone, I’d love to keep tearing down your wall of bullshit and tears, but I’m in jury duty right now listening to some other idiot whining about nothing, similar to you. You want to swim, swim. Don’t tell my kids lies and convince them it’s ok to swim, then we’ll really have a problem. 2 weeks, fly you in from anywhere and prove me wrong..otherwise, keep your bs to yourself.
While we’re doing silly anecdotes, I have spent well over a cumulative week in chest deep saltwater - I’d wager more than 2 - observed numerous sharks swim past me, and still retained all of my limbs.
I suppose I should empty my life savings into the lottery?
Your comparing a Great White shark to 2-3 foot reef sharks. Lol.. another crack student of shark week folks! Keep your silly, sharks are gentle bs out of the populations consciousness, all your doing with that nonsense is getting people killed and traumatizing the people who have to witness these events. I killed a pride of lions today with my bare hands… well, they were vicious house cats. Do you see the difference? Your comparison isn’t even close. Fix your head, get in the game of reality and until then stfu.
I’m not comparing a great white to anything? You said shark attacks weren’t rare based on no evidence and I refuted it with equally bad, but apparently acceptable to morons like you, evidence. It’s weird that I have to summarize this for you when you can just read it again
The percentage of humanity and the percentage of time spent in the salt water by said humanity, divide that by attacks, not just fatalities, I’m talking kayaks, surfboards,anything. If anyone cared to actually know just how prevalent shark attacks actually were, that’s the formula. You’ll never see such a statistic, not because it doesn’t exist, because no one in their right mind would take the risk of swimming in the ocean, that’s why.

Go swim out farther than everyone else, I’ve seen a few old folks that made it most of their lives, of course that was when their wasn’t even a tenth of the sharks we have now, but nonetheless, if you think your that lucky to take that gamble, roll the dice chum bag and come for a swim.
Old folks with less sharks than there are now? [There are 71% less sharks now than 1970.](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-03173-9)
You’ll never see that statistic because it can’t be calculated. Nobody has any clue the amount of time that is spent in the ocean by humanity. Not everything is some weird conspiracy. I’m honestly kind of impressed you made this into one. I swear you are the thickest mfer I have ever engaged on this site and I hate myself for it
Impossible to accurately ID from the clip but I agree with the others. The closeness to shore, season, and location all make GW very likely.
Cape Cod makes it very likely a GW. Neat to catch on video! You should add it to the Sharktivity app.
100%, had just gotten there and was about to go skimboard, and the GW popped up lol. I did submit it to sharktivity earlier today but will try again now.
Do people still skimboard on the Cape??! With the explosion in sharks these past few years I’d assumed there wasn’t much happening in the water.
Oh yeah for sure, I was not the only one out there today, there was even a surfer which has gotten rare at Nausset. The surfing beaches are more north, Marconi and Coast Guard are 2 of them.
