What is the Deal With These Frozen Waves?

John P.

July 10, 2008 By John P.

Frozen WavesSomeone has got to please explain this to me! I don’t know what is going on, where it’s from, or how often this occurs, but there are huge batches of snow-cone-like ice being thrown up from this coastline.

And most interestingly, it happens for about 4 minutes and then just stops! And here I was waiting to watch the little house get crushed! But was left in utter disappointment.

    Wow – that is amazing! Is that the same thing that happened in a post you did about a year ago – where those kids were playing in it? Oh no, maybe not – because, wherever that was – it was warm and I think the foam was warm, or we would’ve heard the kids hollerin’ and squealin’ as they jumped into it! Ha! It does seem kind of similar, though.

    Just watch the discovery channel most dangerous professions show. The crab fishermen in alaska are plagued wuith this phenomina as they sail into fridgid waters to set their traps. The ice gets up to 6 inches thick if they do not chip it off.

    funny how we associate beaches with warm temps…

    ok, I try to explain in my bad “german” english. (and metric)

    salt can keep water liquid until -21 degree Celsius (depenting on the salt content). It must be real cold air there. the foamy waves are mostly air with a thin layer of salty water around. due to the very cold air the heat energy got out of the thin water-layer pretty fast and the saltwater-bubbles freeze.

    .. here an advice for the party animals. I f you run out of cold beer, you get ice from a freezer, throw it with a kilo (2 pounds) salt and a case of handwarm beer in a thermo box and add some cold water. It takes about 10 minutes and your handwarm beer is ice-cold. Much faster than in a freezer, as water absorbs the heat-energy from the beer around 20 times faster than the surrounding air in the freezer would do.

    cheers

    I saw this once in Japan. Salt water takes a long time to freeze. However, salt water foam will freeze to a point. It’s kinda like a snow cone but a little different. As the waves come in the foam is created and it starts freezing right away. With each consecutive wave more foam is created and the process repeats itself over and over. This freak of nature can sometimes be harmful, even deadly. I’m surprised the fishing shack survived.
