Video of big ocean waves crashing into rocks - HD 1080P

Close-up video of big ocean waves smashing into high rocks enclosing a kind of box canyon formation. Huge waves entering this formation have no escape and explode as they meet a dead end, sometimes managing to ramp over the massive boulders to the left. The power of the waves entering the formation is so intense that a massive jet of water can be seen several times shooting off to the right as energy is dispersed in all directions.

I certainly wouldn't want to fall in there on a day like this!

On the day I filmed this, the swell was peaking at 12 to 15 foot (3.5 - 4.5 meters) turning the scene below into a giant boiling cauldron of white water at times.

Just a quick note on the color of the foam for those who are not familiar with different types of sea foam. This video was shot in a pristine marine nature reserve with excellent water quality. The type of foam produced by diatoms is usually cream to caramel in color and in this area is due to the up-welling of nutrients after prolonged windy conditions when their populations thrive. It's because of the up-welling of nutrients and resulting phytoplankton blooms that the sea is able to support so much life and is therefore a sign of a healthy and productive ocean. Foam is produced when the phytoplankton are torn apart by the crashing waves and their spilled cell contents acts like soap, trapping air as it's churned up in the surf.

Hope you enjoy the video as much as I did filming it. Consider subscribing to Peaceful Scenes if you want to be notified when I upload new nature scenes.
