In a big surf on a rocky shore it may be your only choice. What better alternative do you suggest - even on a sand beach - in big waves?
In big surf on a rocky shore (or ironshore) I wouldn't dive. If I can't remove my fins in chest deep water and walk in (forwards or backwards) I'll take my dive elsewhere. I'm not that much in need of a dive that I will beat myself up and risk injury to splash.
