webfact Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Beach goers spotted bright blue, glowing waves on Hua Hin beach on Saturday evening. The ‘glowing waves,’ also known as bioluminescent waves, turn the sea a red colour in the day and glow neon blue at night and were videoed in a series of clips sent to Hua Hin Today by reader Boonkrong Natcha. This natural spectacle occurs when ocean waters are illuminated by bioluminescent organisms, predominantly planktonic creatures called dinoflagellates. Bioluminescence, the emission of light by living organisms, is a chemical reaction that produces light energy. In the case of dinoflagellates, this luminescence is triggered when they are disturbed by movements such as wave action, swimming, or passing boats.

Flat surf, but they lit up with your every movement. Nice midnight skinny dips, with stars lighting the sky & fluorescents in the water ... amazing nature. Good to be alive Now if we only had aurora borealis here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
