Or when a tanker or a deep-running barge goes by pushing tons of water ahead of it, and the suction almost pulls you under

The Canal is the only place where I've lost fish to boats that didn't cross my line. The pull of that suction can tear a hook loose, just like when you try to horse a fish onto the sand against a receeding wave.
