Seafoam

We regularly see seafoam after strong winds and storms on the Fingal Bay and Boat Harbour side of the bay because they are on the open ocean but never before have I ever seen it on our normally sheltered side of the bay.

Still windy here again today and pretty chilly too.

A lovely sea and beach feel!

[Kathy A]

Great shot, fabulous detail

[KoalaGardens🐨]

at least it's not hip height like you see sometimes in other places ick!

[Renee Salamon]

Great shot - looks like someone did their washing here😉

[Carole Sandford]

That could be somewhere here!

[Susan Wakely]

Often a sign of stormy weather.

[Peter]

Lovely shapes and patterns well seen and captured Babs, lots of sea foam on the beach yesterday here:)

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely clear capture. Occasionally we see foam around part of the coast here and we attribute that to the fish farms which are quite a distance away.

[Issi Bannerman]

Lovely!

[Valerie Chesney]

lacy froth & foam.. Great capture.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Yuck ! I would not like to paddle in that !

[Kartia]

The wind has been remarkable. At least it's clean looking foam. I really dislike the murky looking foam that washes up sometimes.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Interesting how nature form this. not the best to be seen on the beach, but hopefully it will clear up soon. Great shot

[Peter Dulis]

wonder where this comes from? pollution?

[Wylie]

Always fun to see, we had so much earlier this year it looked like snow!
@pdulis mostly seaweed proteins etc I understand

[Babs]

@pdulis Wylie is right when the sea is churned up during high winds and storms etc the sea foam is mainly decomposing material like plankton, algae and fungi

[Diana]

Lovely shot and textures, we get it quuite often here.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Excellent capture.

[Merrelyn]

Lovely shot of the foam Babs.

[Pam]

Very interesting.

[Judith Johnson]

Lovely capture

[Granny7(Denise)]

lovely detail

[Pat Knowles]

We get lots of foam on the west coast here. Blackpool but many Clevelys can be knee deep on the promenade. You will be hoping the wind dies down!

[Sue Cooper]

A lovely shot.

[Jacqueline]

Good capture

[Ann Williams]

You must have got wet feet! A different mood for your sheltered bay recently by the sound and look of it.

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture of it. Looks very much the same subject of my pic.

[Ingrid]

I like the patterns and how sharp your photo is. Amazing what the wind and nature does (assuming it is not caused by pollution)

[gloria jones]

Nice capture

[Shutterbug]

Love the textures. We tend to get it during storms as well,

[Rick]

Nice capture.

[Taffy]

I find sea foam fascinating and have always wondered what causes it.

[eDorre]

Such a neat shot and lots of info gained!

The sun is shining but it is so cold.

@pcoulson Sea foam in summer, it must be windy where you are.

@beryl No paddling today Beryl, too cold.

@happypat Wouldn't fancy knee deep in sea foam. We don't usually get it on our side of the bay, but at Boat Harbour and Fingal where it is what we call 'proper' ocean the winds can be straight from Antarctica.

[Babs]

@flowerfairyann I managed not to get wet feet.

[John Falconer]

Great photo of an everyday sight.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Whips up to a nice froth- but don't put it on top of your hot chocolate! Good shot.
