Shining neon blue waves have been spotted on a beach in Southern California, USA at night. The fantastic sight is attracting a lot of attention.
The waves shine in neon blue… a magical sight
The mysterious phenomenon, in which waves glow neon blue at night, was reported in early January on beaches in several California cities, including Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and Long Beach. A video posted on social media shows the waves shining beautifully as they crash onto the shore at night, leaving tourists stunned. In one video, a person’s feet can be seen glowing neon blue as they walk on the sand along a beach. It’s a mystical, almost magical sight.
I wonder how this phenomenon works?
Scripps Institution of OceanographyAccording to , this phenomenon is a chemical reaction commonly seen in marine organisms called bioluminescence, which occurs when organisms emit light. On the coast between Baja California and Los Angeles, a phenomenon called “water bloom” is occurring, where a certain type of plankton proliferates in large quantities underwater, changing the color of the water. ” is known as. This phenomenon is believed to have occurred because the plankton and other algae that cause red tide tend to emit light when triggered by the movement of waves. For this reason, it is said that it will emit light not only when it is hit by waves, but also when it is subjected to impact, such as from the paddle of a kayak or canoe.
According to the National Park Service, the best time to see bioluminescence is on dark, cloudy nights in the summer and fall before the moon rises or after it sets, and nature photographer Marc Girardeau reports. This phenomenon is most concentrated around Huntington Beach and Newport Beach.

The beautiful sight is “one of those unforgettable nights”
This fantastic sight has been confirmed several times before. It is said that when neon blue waves are seen, many tourists gather there, making it a mysterious tourist destination that suddenly appears. Charter boat services now offer special after-sunset tours of the illuminated waters. People who visited during the outbreak in 2020 shared what it was like at the time on social media.
“One of those unforgettable nights. Bioluminescent waves from luminescent molecules in phytoplankton lit up the Southern California coast. I dreamed of seeing this, but I never thought I’d be able to capture it so clearly on camera. I never expected it. Moments like this remind me of how beautiful our planet is.” She said she was overwhelmed by its beauty.
In addition, some people were seen surfing in the sea, but according to a report from the University of California, San Diego, “Some people are sensitive to inhaling the air associated with red tide, “They must be producing other compounds that may affect their health,” the report said.
