Sometimes looking at waves in full color can really set the mood of the photo. For a change, take a look at these waves in black and white. Desaturated color but completely over saturated in power. A paddler’s eye view of some solid swell.

Adam Robertson won the local trials for a wildcard spot in the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach this week. Robbo is no stranger to the event having won the trials 6 times. In 2009 he surfed his way through to the main event and into the final where he finished runner up to Joel Parkinson. This year Robbo will match up with Way of the Ocean co-star Kelly Slater in the first round of competition. Here is what Kelly had to say about the match up. Best of luck to everyone, the forecast looks great!
A long body of water curling into an arched form and breaking on the shore. An outward curve, or one of a series of such curves, in a surface or line; undulation.
There is a certain excitement felt when venturing down unknown roads for the first time. In the forefront, there is always the anticipation of finding your own slice of paradise and reveling in your own quick witted decision to take the 2nd left after the 3rd dirt road leading straight to perfection. In reality, the ever persistent thought of failure lurks over the shoulders while you can only hope that today is the day. Well, this day was exactly that, The day.
We are excited to announce that Way of the Ocean: Australia is an official selection for the Newport Beach International Film Festival. Check back for dates and show times.
Another cover for Way of the Ocean co-star Craig Anderson, this time its the cover of Surfing World Magazine. Ando is recognized as having one of the smoothest styles in the world and we think you will agree when you see the movie.
A small stormy day on the Northern Coast of NSW with Josh Kerr and Nick Vasicek. There were a few little ramps on offer and some pretty cool lighting. That’s one of the great things about Australia, the dramatic lighting that can pop up for just a brief window and turn an otherwise boring session into something pretty unique.
Research is underway to determine if invasive Asian tiger shrimp in U.S. Atlantic waters pose a threat to native species or the environment. Asian tiger shrimp are native to Indo-Pacific, Asian, and Australian waters, but are now found along the southeast and Gulf coasts of the United States. While small numbers of this invasive species have been reported in […]
A perigean spring tide occurs when the moon is new or full and closest to Earth Around three or four times a year (in the spring and the fall), the new or full moon coincides closely in time with the perigee of the moon—the point when the moon is closest to the planet. These occurrences are often called 'perigean spring tides.' The difference betwe […]
If you scoop up some water from the ocean in a clear glass and look at it closely, you'll see that it's chock full of tiny particles. Sea water contains dissolved salts, proteins, fats, dead algae, and a bunch of other bits and pieces of organic matter. If you shake this glass of ocean water vigorously, small bubbles will form on the surface of the […]
The Atlantic Ocean covers an area of approximately 41,105,000 square miles (106,460,000 square kilometers). Covering approximately 20 percent of the Earth’s surface, the Atlantic Ocean is the second largest ocean basin in the world, following only the Pacific. However, it is only slightly larger than half the size of the Pacific Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean lie […]
Datums are the basis for all geodetic survey work A geodetic datum is an abstract coordinate system with a reference surface (such as sea level) that serves to provide known locations to begin surveys and create maps. In this way, datums act similar to starting points when you give someone directions. For instance, when you want to tell someone how to get to […]

NOAA's Harmful Algal Bloom Operational Forecast System in the Gulf of Mexico identifies whether or not a bloom of algae is likely to contain a toxic species, where it is, how big it is, where it's headed, and if it could become more severe in the near future.

You won't find Spirobranchus giganteus, also known as the Christmas tree worm, eating your fir tree this year. The common name for these worms is derived from their appearance, not their habitat or diet. Each worm has two brightly colored crowns that protrude from its tube-like body. These Christmas tree-like crowns are composed of radioles, or hair-lik […]
Corals have long been popular as souvenirs, for home decor, and in jewelry, but many consumers are unaware that these beautiful structures are made by living creatures. Fewer still realize that corals are dying off at alarming rates around the world. Coral reefs are some of the most biologically rich and economically valuable ecosystems on Earth, but they ar […]
For most areas it could be a matter of years, not days or weeks, before debris from the Japanese tsunami reaches the United States. The debris clumped together when it first washed into the ocean, but it has since dispersed, making it difficult to locate. This makes it hard for scientists to tell what types of debris are still afloat and how much of it will […]
The cryosphere is the frozen water part of the Earth system There are places on Earth that are so cold that water is frozen solid. These areas of snow or ice, which are subject to temperatures below 0°C for at least part of the year, compose the cryosphere. The term “cryosphere” comes from the Greek word, “krios,” which means cold. Ice and snow on land are o […]
