When you get really low tides your favorite beaches can turn into places you almost don't recognize. I ran into this when I went down to Brookings in early December and wandered down to one of my favorite coastal pool only to find a field of black rocks with wet seaweed draped over the tops and not even a tide pool to entertain me. The water was hundreds of yards from where I was used to shooting waves. I had never seen what this area looked like under the water.
Another place that can take on a completely different look for these conditions is Ruby Beach. I have visited Ruby when the water leaves vast expanses of exposed beach since the beaches there are very shallow for quite some distance. I have seen the edge of the surf as far as 1/4 mile from what we usually think of as the shoreline for Ruby. This image is from one of those visits. I dug it out since I will likely be heading up there next week and there is a pretty low tide slated for the area.
C&C always welcome.
