Choppy, wind-whipped ocean with multiple lines of whitewater breaking across the bar beyond sea oats and dune shrubs

Lumpy waves stacking up and closing out in rows of whitewater under a partly cloudy sky

Sea oats bent hard by the wind in silhouette against a churning, silver-gray ocean and puffy clouds

Backlit, sun-glinted ocean surface covered in wind chop with disorganized waves rolling toward shore
