Thought I would share this. a friend put me onto it. anyone who has read dan browns earlier book, Deception Point, already knows about this phenomenum, but bacterias and algea bloom cells can create bioluminescene when they feel threatened. there has been an algea bloom lately in san diago that has moved on shore, so when the waves crash on the beach, the cells panic, and send out light as a result, so at night, if the conditions are right, the waves light up.

I think usually when oregon gets red tides, they arent bioluminecisent.
