Where the waves crash on dark rocks
Here you hear waves crashing on dark rocks on a windy autumn afternoon, free to play in any browser. Heavy clouds hang low over a grey sea. You stand on a ledge above the water, and the air tastes of salt.
The crashing waves come one after another. Each one hits the rocks with a heavy splash, and the water streams back off the stones. Without warning, a big wave slams in, white spray bursts high into the air, and you flinch as it rains down nearby.
In the pause, foam drains into the rock pools in countless little trickles. Pebbles rattle down the shore as a wave pulls back. Gulls cry far away. The power of the sea thumps in your chest, yet the steady crash and drain becomes something you can lean on.
For ocean waves crashing at full force, press Stormy sea. To sit low among the trickles and rolling stones, choose By the rock pools.
