Waves splashing on a sandy beach. This sample is unusual in that the swell was strong but there was no wind at all. As a result, moments of relative quietness - during which you can hear sand moving, foam bursting, and very distant waves - emphasize the crushing of waves. This pattern gives (at least to me) the sensation of a big space around. Recorded near Punta del Moral, Huelva (Andalucia, S Spain) using a pair of Primo EM172 capsules (without windscreens, one over my chest, the other on my back), Fel preamp, and PCM M10 recorder.

This is really really great - I was directing a one act play about 2 people washed up on a desert island and I used this in an introductory soundscape and then on its own fading in and out the remainder of the play.

Thank you for making this recording available.
I have used it as part of the sound montage behind an arrangement of the Ainu traditional piece Retahcikah Haw. https://soundcloud.com/ivodne-galatea/3-the-calling-swans
