Listen to poem:
The backwash reflection sent waves seawards to crash headlong into the oncoming waves sending swash and spray skywards. It was fun to go careering out and ride the surge, and get upshot as the two waves met and banged together. The afterglow of backwash aftereffect was exhilarating that afternoon.

I enjoyed the word picture, which reminded me of frolicking (antique word, no?) in an afternoon agitated surf years ago......those stimulating repeated douses from long ago were almost reawakened by your words. Thank you.
