A YOUNG woman had an embarrassing holiday moment caught on camera after being knocked down by a huge wave.
Boston-based Nicole Joanna was posing in her bikini while on holiday in Mexico with a friend when she was swept off her feet.
In the video, her friend Macy Nix, from Texas, was filming her standing by a rock face at Divorce Beach in Cabo when she was caught by surprise.
The photo shoot didn’t exactly turn out as expected when a wave surged up the beach, making her disappear from sight as it surged over the top of her head.
The blonde tourist is seen bracing for impact before being knocked to the ground while Macy screams "Oh my God".
Macy said: "Nicole negligently went to stand by the rock and the wave came crashing in.
"I was terrified and I thought she smashed into the rock so I yelled and took off towards her and she popped up."
However, she emerged safely, with Macy adding: "Luckily, she managed to keep her sunglasses."
