Australian Seashore, Kalbarri

Photo: Surf crashes on Kalbarri seashore, Australia

Waves at high tide crash on shore near Kalbarri National Park in Western Australia. Ocean tides are created by the gravitational effects of the moon and sun on the Earth. When the moon is full or new, attraction is high, and the oceans bulge outward, creating spring tides.
