This video shows the extent of the sea foam washed ashore.
Its maximum depth was a little over 2 meters and was positioned over sand on the beach above the waterline.
Its a strange sensation being encased in a sea of windblown foam, with an idea of what it would be like pictured below. Keep in mind that we are standing on dry beach. :)
Hi David
ReplyDeleteGreat posting.
I have heard of such events, but it is good to see it documented so well. Without you having ventured into it, I would have just looked like a mess of bubbles in the bath.
Well done.
Was it messy?
Chemically?

Hi David
ReplyDeleteI flicked your link to my brother in Dalmeny.
He responded as follows:
"No thanks.
It was pretty bad last January, but nothing like this bad. It takes ages to go away.
Cheers,
Brendan"
So you might have some sludge on your beaches for a while.
Interesting phenomenon.
Do you know any chemists (not pharmacists) who could test the chemical composition?
I wonder if there is a detergent ingredient in there, or other pollution?

That photo is just amazing! (Btw regarding the video, I'm getting a message "video unavailable".)
