when is the best time to capture pictures of the waves hitting the shore?

High tide is when you get big sprays. Low tide there are no sprays.

High tide. Mornings :)

Check the high tide schedule and give your self 30min to and hour to walk down the beach to the rocks!

During the day

Try for higher tides by checking the tide tables.

Isn't high tide when the tide comes in? It comes it in the evening??
