To my surprise, Phaeocystis happened to be the cause of the foam on the sea shore. The species involved is Phaeocystis pouchetti, it belongs to the Haptophyta, a group of small single-celled algae. Despite their small size, Haptophytes play an important part in marine ecology since many species can be found in astronomical numbers
I totally agree. One summer in August 95 took almost entire month to explore the Oregon Coast and Portland. Went from Astoria to Brookings and took my time. Almost two weeks and then ended up at Crater Lake. Great time.
I saw those tides at Haceta Head Lighthouse beach and they were crazy! There was no beach! (That foam and backwash would have been fun to see though. And combined with big waves in this video. So cool!)
These r the tides we have here on the west coast, not the ripples u have on the east coast...course the temp of the ocean is about 50 degree in the winter and around 60-65 in the summer
Pacific Ocean??? Those waves are much smaller than The Great Lakes ( Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario) waves in USA & Canada.

Oregon has some gorgeous scenery. Wish I could visit.
It's even better in person. I'm from Oregon.

@@kindspirit7 You just INSPIRED me to do the Same 🚙💦👍
I've never seen such foamy waves. They look delicious 😍 beautiful waves.
Anyone order a Rootbeer Float?? 😋😍
Absolutely beautiful! I would love to be there during a King tide 🥰
that is an insane amount of foam
Never turn your back to the ocean with foam waves like this.
Never turn your back on the ocean, period.
Agree. Signs along Rocky northern California used to say just that. People don't really get the danger so I added the rest.
The foam is so aerated you cannot swim properly in it...can't get traction
That's the foamiest foam I've ever seen!
Very nice & fantastic. Amazing! #Masoodartgallery
Yeah, I totally get that!
Somebody added soap.
Beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This is interesting. Never seen anything like this.
Why does it look like some giant spilt his shaving cream in the ocean?
I think those are microorganisms
Sea foam
Not sure why people thumb down this? Good stuff 👍
Come down to Westport, Washington for the King Tides and you can view them from up high in the tower. I’ll see y’all there! 🌊
Dangerous but so beautiful !!!🤗
Awesome !
I'm down in Newport, and yes, sometimes those waves get pretty high.
Semper Fi, Tony
I was born in Lincoln city ; )
I wasn’t 🤪
That’s one pissed off looking ocean!!!
Amazing ocean.
What street is that on? I’m assuming that’s pretty close to the seahorse hotel or no?
Is it normally like that or are they like mini tsunami waves?? I’m worried for those houses literally on the ocean
rare
King tides seem to be coming atleast yearly, but the Oregon coast is notoriously unpredictable. Lots of sneaker waves and rip currents.
I would be so afraid of being swept off there
Very nice & fantastic. Amazing! #Masoodartgallery

What is the foam from? Detergents?
Caused by the churning of organic material. Like algae.
When the beach houses get washed away do the taxes on the next row in go up instantly yet?
They will
What is all that foam
Bigger at Nelscott!
almost looks like my beer after I shake it
Those large waves are terrifying. Glad I’m not there.
I wonder how many tourist phones get destroyed by salt water every day?
The water is minging with the froff
Супер super👍👍
wow! the whole beach is gone...
Why is the foam there?
I guess you beat anything fast enough it'll turn into whipped cream
That's a lot of flotsam, daaaammmmnnn
What is that foam?? Ick
Where exactly is this in LC?
INSANE,,,i am From INDONESIA

Questo è MARE!!!!
Why am I craving a vanilla milkshake?
😂🤣😅
God's hand is moving 🙏
mmmmmm creamy
I would have thought tsunami
wonder exactly WHAT is in that sea foam... I'd have to guess some fun chemicals and other toxic junk.
Not exactly it can be Organix from seaweed Although I don’t doubt chemicals are probably mixed in as well certainly some radiation from Fukushima
haven't these rubes ever seen the ocean before?
Laundry detergent
In less then 5 years this will be a daily event.
🙂
Why they don’t run away they don’t know what happened next.
Hmm. No footage of the water going into town. Phony video title.
