Sea Foam being whipped up by the wind, as videoed by Billy O’Callaghan.

Jeanne Jackson • February 25, 2025

I've never seen anything quite like this. Sea foam filling a cove - yes, I've seen that. But Billy O'Callaghan saw something else - the fierce wind whipped up the sea foam into a mini tornado which then sent bits of sea foam flying on the bluff face and even up on the bluff itself. Here are a few photos I took from Billy's video.

And here is Billy's exciting video: Sea Foam by Billy Ocallaghan

I know some of you have trouble playing videos on my posts. One friend told me she just had to wait a while for it to load. I hope you can view it.

Thanks to Billy for allowing me to share his video and resultant photos with  you here.

It's sunny and warm here today, 64 degrees. Wildflowers are blooming in the warmth - me too!
