The video captures a dramatic and high-energy scene at a crowded beach as a massive, towering wave begins to break close to the shore. The footage starts with several beachgoers standing in the relatively shallow, foamy white water of the receding tide, looking out toward the horizon with a mix of excitement and anticipation. As the camera focuses on the ocean, a colossal wall of turquoise water rises rapidly, dwarfing the swimmers in its path. The wave displays a powerful, vertical face with white spray blowing off its crest, indicating its immense force. While some people in the water seem to be cheering or waving their arms in thrill, others stand still, seemingly mesmerized by the scale of the swell. The contrast between the bright, sunny day and the sheer, intimidating height of the crashing water creates a sense of both awe and impending chaos. As the wave reaches its peak and begins to curl over, it completely dominates the frame, showcasing the raw, unfiltered power of the ocean just moments before it crashes into the surf zone.Follow us @ms_knowledg #fyp #explore #technology #viral #knowledge

Found on today’s beach walk - a LIVE baby sand dollar! Sand dollars are actually living organism and are a cousin of sorts to other echinoderms like sea cucumbers, sea stars (also known as starfish) and sea urchins but flattened and disk-shaped. They are found in the shallow water of the Oregon coast’s surf zone (some beaches have more colonies than others). When alive, they are various shades of purple, green, dark brown, or black, with a fuzzy outer surface. The sand dollar’s skeleton, or test (the test is the hard, calcified outer shell of the sand dollar), is round and often sun-bleached, appearing white or light-colored. Here are more fun facts about Pacific sand dollars on the Oregon coast: ⭐️ Pacific sand dollars are found in the shallow water of the surf zone, from Alaska to Baja Mexico. ⭐️ They are flattened, disk-shaped echinoderms with a calcium carbonate exoskeleton (test). When alive, they are often purple or green, and their bodies are covered in spines that give them a hairy look. ⭐️ They are bottom-dwellers that feed on microscopic algae and bacteria on the ocean floor. ⭐️ They can live for 10 years or more. ⭐️ Sand dollars are known to crowd together in colonies, sometimes with many hundreds packed into a square meter of sand. They can move slowly by waving their spines or tube feet. ⭐️ Sand dollars reproduce by releasing eggs and sperm into the water column. ⭐️ Non-fish predators include crabs and seagulls. ⭐️ The sand dollar’s exoskeleton, often bleached white by the sun, is what people often find and collect on the beach. ⭐️ “Doves” or Aristotle’s Lantern - teeth-like plates in the mouth of a sand dollar, which are part of a structure called Aristotle’s Lantern, can detach and resemble small, white doves when the sand dollar dies and dries up. . . . #sanddollar #tiny #seacreatures #oceanlife #echinoderms #pacificocean #oregoncoast #sealife #beachlife

This great white shark was searching for rays in the surf zone. It's very interesting to see that sharks will move in and out of the surf zone consistently with or without humans present. I was recently talking to a security guard at the Malibu pier who showed me footage he filmed of a white shark in the surf right under the pier! Pretty amazing to see because it's such a loud spot and you wouldn't think great whites would pass under the pier. #greatwhiteshark #dronevideo

How to Find Sand Dollars‼️😱 Sand dollars get washed up when waves and storms churn the seafloor and push them into the surf zone. Look near the waterline after rough seas or low tide, especially where you see shell and seaweed lines. While they’re alive, they usually stay buried just under the sand, using tiny spines to move and hold position. They eat microscopic algae, plankton, and organic bits by trapping food with sticky tube feet and passing it to their mouth on the underside. Sand dollars have been around for tens of millions of years, and here’s a wild fact: the five-petal “star” on top is part of their internal support and respiratory system and it’s why they look like a living sand coin. #learning #education #science #nature

No Fancy Gear Needed: My Go-To SoCal Surf Rig 🎣🌊🐟 Keeping it simple and effective for Southern California surf fishing 🎣🌊 This is a basic surf setup that just works: an eggy sinker, swivel, leader line, and a size 6 mosquito hook. No complicated rigs, no extra hardware — just a clean presentation that’s perfect for SoCal species cruising the surf zone. This setup is beginner-friendly, easy to tie, and great for getting bites when conditions are tough. Sometimes, less really is more when fishing the surf. #fishing #reels #explore #reelit #fishingreel #fishinglife #fishingtrip #beachfishing #califórnia #californiafishing #socal #torreypines

A boat just went full rogue mode — engine running, no driver, and a direct line for the surf zone. 🚤🌊 Somehow, every surfer made it out unscathed.

Rescuing Equipment in The Surf 🌊 ⬇️ When it comes to rescuing swimmers in the surf, it is usually pretty simple. The same can’t be said for rescuing equipment ⬇️ An empty kayak in the surf zone can be unpredictable, powerful, and pretty dangerous. Trying to grab or push it towards the beach at the wrong moment can easily end with a collision… or getting thrown on top of the empty boat. 😬 The reality is, most sea kayaks will make their own way back to shore, especially if they’re already inside the breaking waves. Getting involved can often do more harm than good. There are exceptions, like strong offshore winds or powerful rips, where a kayak might need a bit of help. Sometimes though... the best thing you can do… is nothing. 🎥 This clip shows exactly what can go wrong when you try to step in at the wrong time. As part of our “Sea Kayak Rescues” course, we take a deep dive into environment-specific rescues. We look at the surf zone, tidal environments, close to the rocks and rescues in strong winds. Each environment presents its own risks and opportunities, and we focus on building the skills, judgment, and adaptability needed to respond effectively when conditions are dynamic and demanding. If you want to check out this course and all of our other courses, you can gain instant access today with our 7-day FREE trial. ⬇️ Subscribe ➡️ Links in our Bio ➡️ @online.seakayaking #seakayaking #openwater #ocean #practicepracticepractice #seakayaker #seakayakingadventures #onlinelearning @nrsweb @phseakayaks

Here is another Fish Report for 2025! This was actually my first time catching this species the Diamond Turbot! In the flounder family! The Fish Species: Diamond Turbot Legal Size Limit: N/A Legal Bag Limit: 10 per day. They are in the “Fin fish” category which means 20 bag limit of fin fish but only 10 of one species. Habitat: typically inhabit shallow, sandy nearshore waters, including bays, channels, and harbors. They are commonly found in the surf zone Bait: I landed this one on the live ghost shrimp, but they are known to go for both artificial and natural baits. The natural baits include; shrimp, bloodworms, lugworms, anchovies and ghost shrimp. #fishing #sportfishing #fishspecies #fishinglaws #fishreport
