Bioluminescent waves in San Diego, Red Tide & Blue Waves

  • When conditions are right (or wrong) the algae off the coast blooms and can create Red Tides.
    For more check: / pkraghphoto
    When the algea gets excited by the movement of the wave it triggers the bioluminescence, a defense response. The more algea the more light.
    This was shot mainly in Del Mar and Solana Beach.
    In 15 years, I've only seen it twice like this.

      QueenMinks28 xD it happens once in a while. A few years back it lasted for over a month in Carlsbad, California. When you walk in the wet sand, it glows to, and when you kick it, you have flying sparks! Also fun to surf in, glows when you paddle and when your surfboard moves through the water. Sometimes it is more intense then others! It is very cool!

    I only once in my life time experienced sea lights in the North Sea, during a sailing trip. Our skipper awakened us, launched a dinghy, and rowed around. Then he got into the water himself, and swam around. The light followed every movement. - It was the most impessive spectacle of nature I ever witnessed.

    Way back in the 1950s when my wife and I were teenagers, we went to the beach at night when the red tide was doing its thing. We lived in Imperial Beach - most southwesterly part of the continental US. The waves broke just like in this video - fascinating and beautiful. When walking on the wet sand, the sand under our feet would flash with a glow. And when we walked and kicked the sand ahead of us, it would make a slight spray of glowing wet sand. Loved it. Thanks for the video.

      huyked yes, you must go at night. It depends on different things, but it should be good for a while. I’d go tonight, walk on the beach, kick some wet sand, walk in the water, splash with your hands and feet, have fun!
