I really love how the shape of the wave mimics the rock in the background!

Source for the image? I'd love a higher resolution version.

Visit one of the coastal beaches in Washington during the months of October through June and you can have a first hand experience! I can feel and hear this picture.

I see a cougar in the top of the wave.

Does this have a name other than 'a wave'?

Looking at this makes me think of some pictures of the surface of the sun, teeming with all the roiling, explosive energy barely contained beneath the surface, and then this, a solar flare, erupts
