California Waves

Photograph of a wave crashing against rocks at Pacific Grove, CaliforniaAs winter turns to spring, storms are no longer pounding the coast. Most waves breaking along the California Pacific shore are wind-generated waves, caused by wind blowing over large areas of open ocean. They can travel thousands of miles before reaching land. Waves break when they run into shallow water. Large waves are dramatic, dangerous and exhilarating. In the next several posts, I will share some images from our local shores. This first image was captured along the Pacific Grove Recreation Trail, March, 2006
