Waves and spume

On windy days, on exposed beaches, you will be able to see huge waves out to sea and breaking on the shore. Point out the undersides of the waves as they break. They will often look quite yellow as they pick up the sand on sandy shores. Notice how quickly the breaking waves come in, ending with a frothy cream that up the shore.

When you are exploring beaches at low tide, remind children how important it is to keep an eye on the tide coming in. where beaches are flat, it can approach faster than an adult can walk, making these beaches potentially dangerous. When you are watching the waves, remember to do this from a safe distance so that there is no danger of your child being caught in the undertow, as the water recedes.
