(31,344 posts)8. ''The 'cloud' is actually sea spray'' (Conor Hegyi's show-reel on Vimeo)
vimeo.com/141765123
The wave doesnt touch a cloud. The cloud is actually sea spray, aerosol particles that are formed directly from the ocean, mostly by ejection into the atmosphere by bursting bubbles at the air-sea interface (definition via Wikipedia). Also, clouds dont form at very low altitude like in this video.
This video was taken by Conor Hegyi. Below is a show-reel including the short clip at 3:36. More important than the missing cloud is the fact the the original video is of much better quality and deserves attribution.
