This has been one of the most beautiful and moving videos for me for 10 years. Just searched and found it again

Beautiful, I live here in vista, wanted to go see it that year but wasnt able to, hope I get to see it in person when it happens again

@roadlesstrvled Thanks I appreciate the compliments. This was shot on a Sony Ex3 with a nice lens on it (not the stock one). Only post work that was done was to get rid of some of the static from having to use the gain, the color remains true, it was just that crazy of a color!

that was the most magical thing i have ever seen, absolutely beautiful!!! wish i could be there...

Logan, thank you so very much! With this video I discover the band that would become one of my favorites!

Great video! Last night after watching it took the family to Oceanside Pier. We were lucky enough to see a seal swimming near the end of the Pier - lit up by the biolumenscence - as were the fish swimming away from it....I'm never going to forget that. Thank you for inspiring us to go out and see this phenom.

Thanks a bunch for this wonderful video! 😯

Why would there be anybody giving this vid thumbs down, that don't make sense.

@Sebastiancounts opening shot was Moonlight, the rest was at Ponto and Oceanside Pier. I shot this on my Sony Ex3 with a Fuji lens. It took a decent amount of time and a few nights out there to figure out the right settings etc.

I have seen the same thing about 40 years ago at the Belgian coast, i have never seen it again since. Quite spectacular

I have seen the same thing about 40 years ago at the Belgian coast, i've neber seen it again since. Quite spectacular

E' una cosa che ho visto già quando ero ragazzino... ora con l'inquinamento marino è sempre più difficile osservare questo fenomeno così affascinante!!!

Wow, the tunes on this track kick ass. Wish I could drive down to see the waves in person.

Coo vid. Was just in so cal last wk & of course nothing like this happened... Thanks for sharing

So cool! I live in SD, I'll have to check it out in person :)

Amo esse Vídeo.. Não me canso de assistir... faz anos!

This is the best video I've ever seen on the bioluminescent phytoplankton, how often does it do this?

Love this!!! Thank you!

Beautiful footage /editing. Music fits well. Very impressive! Who was that surfer?

wow! so beautiful! thank you for bringing this wonder to us!

@523Lobefinger "Midnight in the City" by The Ruse. And "A Toast to the End" by Winter Quarters.

@LoghanCall sounds good man, anyways im diggin your style, keep up the good work

Beautiful! Made me cry good tears

No soy de los que andan comentando pero este vídeo merece esta excepción, excelente contenido, muchas gracias por compartir esto con nosotros, fue realmente agradable.

I'm missing home these days especially the ocean... when this nightmare over, oh when this nightmare is over I'm going to enjoy what is rightfully mine:)

Totally gorgeous! Disney has a long way to go to even come close to nature!

Headed to the Oceanside Pier tonight at 6pm to shoot more footage! If you'd like to join in, feel free! Search "Red Tide SURFING Video Shoot" on Facebook for our public invite if interested! Cheers!!!

Something that beautiful doesn't need a heavy music track. Distracting.

@LoghanCall sounds fun, i was shooting out there last friday experimenting with the low light, i got some good extended exposure shots of the coastline, and some decent ghosting shots with a 6 second exposure, do you usually do video/ or do you do photography to?

@srikanthsalesforce Midnight in the City, by the Ruse and at the end its "A Toast to the End" by Winter Quarters.

WOW ! OMG THAT IS AMAZING. I would so want to visit a beach like that in the night.

i just found another thing to put on my bucket list.

@LoghanCall Great edit!

absolutely beautiful....

OMFG! this video is amazing :'D what's the name of the song??

Essa música agradável que toca no vídeo = " Midnight In The City - The Ruse "

Awesome bio-luminescence on this...

Simplesmente lindo maravilhoso!!!

aw man! this is moonlight beach! what kind of camera were you shooting with, i was out there the other night with my 7d

Awesomeness..................

I this planet earth? It is awesome, reminds me of Pandora (Avatar)

@10mintwo Much appreciated, sent him a message. Unfortunately its been happening a lot. Thanks for the heads up! Cheers!!

It's been at least 3yrs or more since I've witnessed this. So awesome even when u walk on the wet sand as the tide goes back out u leave glowing footprints! So cool. Is there a website or other source of info to let me know the next time the red tide comes back?

@523Lobefinger "Midnight in the City" By The Ruse, they have four albums out and all worth checking out I might add! Thanks!

@newsuperdavidbros You can check them out on iTunes, by searching "Winter Quarters" the song name or the name of the album which is "Stories and Lies". Cheers!

@Twinkles36 it happens frequently on the coast if the conditions are right and was not caused by the radiation. This isn't a one time occurrence, and on the west coast is isn't dangerous.

this is crazy i cant believe such beauty is natural! gotta go see this some time!

majestic

That is awesome!

Red tide is a common name for a large concentration of aquatic microorganisms, an event in which estuarine, marine, or fresh water algae accumulate rapidly in the water column and results in discoloration of the surface water. Just so people don't think "its radiation".

MELTING POT OF FRIENDSHIP

es hermoso!

Proliferación de algas marinas de tipo Lingulodinium polyedrum que da a las aguas un particular tono rojizo de día y crea el efecto luminiscente de noche.

shit no kidding! funny you said that. this video was played in my biology class to explain what that person was saying.

@ScrewFrance32 I heard it hasn't been as "electric" the last couple of nights. Its all about the right conditions and can literally be here one night and gone the next. My recommendation is to go out around 9pm, at a place where its dark and hopefully it will still be around.

thats insane i cant wait to move out to cali

gorgeous

Woww... Es sencillamente... ¡¡¡maravilloso!!!

Que belleza !

thos is a nice song Midnight In The City - The Ruse

@fifty1thirty Thanks! Curious, I knew CNN would be using the footage I gave them, what show was it on? Thanks in advance...cheers!

I love this song I need to find the name of it!

"Surfer: Joel Puckett (Mad props, wouldn't have the cool footage of surfing without him)." Interesting! Wonder where the relationship is!

Deus é perfeiitooo *o*

Is this the same red tide hitting over here in Texas? I'm in rockport TX right now just got here so id like to know pm me

nice !!!!

@Xxitry2flyxX I'm not to sure but its going on right now I went surfing here yesterday till 9:30pm at night it was the first time I've made it out during red tide it was awesome me and my buddy did'nt want to leave the water.

Where can I get a copy of the song "A Toast To The End" ?

This is the beach where Godzilla was born

Dear Sir, May I know what camera did u use to be able to capture Bioluminescence?

exactly which predators is the beach trying to fend off?

@Sebastiancounts mainly video. I love photography as well, but I have invested my money into professional video equipment, so once I have my dream set up in film, I'll invest some money to start grabbing some cool stills!

i need your mind for my biology class!

demasiado precioso

What's the song's name please someone help me. Thank You. I love the song. :D

Очень красиво

yeah, i saw this in Carlsbad and thought it was GODZILLA RISING!!

this was one time only right?

@MrTexaszx2 I was out there myself and didn't feel any side effects :)

Looks kinda like some kind of EMP pulse from the movies

ive surfed in the dark before.. I will never do it again.

This phenomenon is a biological reaction of algae in response to pollution from excess phosphorus, which often originates from wastewater. The excess phosphorus that is present in the human body is excreted through urine. When the algae are exposed to this high concentration of phosphorus, they become bioluminescent, creating the magical glow that we see in the water. Rather than disposing of wastewater into the sea, it may be necessary to reevaluate the wastewater treatment processes in these areas. This would help to reduce the amount of phosphorus that is released into the environment, and prevent the occurrence of this bioluminescent phenomenon. Considering the source of this magical glow, it begs the question - would you still want to swim in this water? It is important to consider the potential health and environmental risks associated with swimming in water contaminated with excess phosphorus and other pollutants.

What's the best way to contact you for using your footage ?

How often does this happen?

Oh man, I knew I shouldnt have ate those mushrooms at dinner...

@permagrin4life please send me a direct message with your intentions on the video. I just need to know what my footage will be used for, open to most requests, but like to know prior to something happening. Cheers!

what is this ?? how is it made ?

@LoghanCall Honestly, I wouldn't even bother. That's more often than not a waste of time. Much faster and easier to simply file a report at /copyright_complaint_form

Can someone explain what is causing that glow?

@Xxitry2flyxX I've been a spearfisher for almost 10 years now so being in the water a night dont bother me anymore:)

why does that happen?

What is the name of this song?

Check out 1:13 for sweet surfing moves!

Im sure thats blue tide

And people say there's no evidence of intelligent design and all this is an accident.

Perfeito! Cade isso no Brasil ? :(

wow so beautiful o(π--π)o

I might have to make plans with my girlfriend. I love beaches, but I've never been to one like this.

Why is it called a red tide if it's blue?
