Serious "ocean foam"

From : Daily mail......

"It was as if someone had poured tons of coffee and milk into the ocean, then switched on a giant blender.

 

Suddenly the shoreline north of Sydney were transformed into the Cappuccino Coast.

Foam swallowed an entire beach and half the nearby buildings, including the local lifeguards' centre, in a freak display of nature at Yamba in New South Wales. "

Foam and bubbles 

 

"It stretched for 30 miles out into the Pacific in a phenomenon not seen at the beach for more than three decades.

Scientists explain that the foam is created by impurities in the ocean, such as salts, chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed.

These bubbles stick to each other as they are carried below the surface by the current towards the shore"

"What happened to my wave, mate?

Thanks for your concern, Guns. Most of that was in slower...er...lower Delaware. (kidding all of you Kent and Sussex cty. folks.) They got a pretty good wallop last night.

Yeah, that guy looks like he's ready to make a b-line to the nearest shower!

Excretions from seaweed?? Does seaweed 'poop'?

You just might find out in your new area, Pac! Again, good luck. I'm sure your in for a great summer (after you get settled in). Hope the store works out well for you and your family!

Guns, lovely smell isn't it. I am somewhat accustomed to it however, after spending so much time fishing and crabbing downstate. The smell of bait!
