Surf Sound Effects

Surf sound effects for where the sea meets the shore. Water lapping gently at one end, crashing waves and storm-driven surf at the other. Some of it loops. The recordings come from coasts all over the world, tropical beaches among them, with a breeze, seabirds and rustling palms around a few, and harbour ripples for days when the water hardly moves.

Surf sets the weather in a Beach scene. Calm lapping suits a quiet afternoon on the sand, and storm-driven surf suits a rescue or a wreck. The loopable recordings run under a long scene without a bump at the join, which is handy for a game level on the coast. Trickling laps are useful too, as small detail close to camera, and the harbour ripples cover boats tied up in still water. Some sets go beyond the sea, with lakes and caves for smaller water, and the breeze and seabirds on a few of the beach recordings can save building that layer separately.
