...um.

Okay.  Taking into account your giant insulating bubble suit, and that you did let the first primary wave go past you before jumping, and that it's a fucking tidal bore...

Let's call this a DC 15 Swim check, STR-based, unskilled possible, to avoid 1d3 nonlethal damage?  And if you fail by 5 or more, take 1d4 lethal damage instead.  Owing to the insulated suit, you'll only hit the surface rocks every two rounds, rather than getting tumbled into a new underwater impact every round.  Your STR is 10.

If you check that once per two rounds, starting from 87 hit points, it'll last you...

...around 60 rounds = 6 minutes, according to simulation?  During which time you'd travel 6km if you were going an average of 10 m/s, taking into account all the side motion and impacts.
