🌊 Sea foam might look playful blowing across the Outer Banks today, but here’s the science behind it: ☑️ It forms when onshore winds churn up dissolved salts, algae, and organic matter in the ocean. ☑️ That bubbly mix can be full of bacteria and tiny organisms — nature’s froth at work. ☑️ Strong winds and rough surf whip it into the big patches you see washing ashore. Beautiful to watch, but not something you want to swim through. We’re live on @weatherchannel 💨 #OuterBanks #SeaFoam | Justin M
