Bioluminescent Waves is a natural phenomenon that causes the waves to glow neon blue. It's caused by an algae blooms called the "Red Tide." Rarely can you see it along some of the Southern California beaches from as far north as Santa Barbara, Malibu, Venice Beach all the way down to San Diego and Mexico.
By night, the disturbance caused by waves triggers L. poly to generate a pulse of blue light using luciferin, a light-emitting molecule. The magical blue glow is thought to scare organisms that would disturb water trying to consume the phytoplankton, or perhaps attract the attention of something that will eat the phytoplankton predator.
Lasting almost an entire month, the end marks one of the largest phytoplankton, bioluminescent red tides that have happened in the area in about a decade, with the last of this size and magnitude back in October 2011, and one previously in 1995
This particular photo was taken in May 2020 with the recent activity of Bioluminescent waves that caught the interest of many to come and enjoy this rare event.
