The sound of waves on a flat beach during flood tide on a windy day.
Recorded at New Brighton beach in the Mersey Estuary on the Wirral peninsular.
Long waves can be heard sweeping across flat sand towards my position with distant larger waves breaking on a sandbank further out. The tide is coming in, and by the end of the recording the water is a few inches deep around me. There was a strong breeze whipping up the waves in the estuary, but the zoom dead cat seems to do a good job of minimising the wind noise.
