While hiking along the pacific coast on a very windy day we encountered big globs of sea foam, some as big as a softball, being blown up from the sea and over a 50 ft cliff we were looking over. The foamy blobs came whizzing over our heads and then came crashing into the ground. We had a great time watching and trying to capture this experience. Thinking back, these simple experiences that are random and transient directly define the essence of life.
nature has no boss 
It’s actually a type of algae that when whipped up by the wind,creates these brownish foam blobs!
I’ve seen surge channels filled with this stuff! A wave will move through in slow motion!
Cool to watch but stinky if you get it on you!

Thanks for the info. I did get the business end of a few of those blobs of algae when trying to photograph them and they did have a bit of a fragrant smell.
