The area of surf between the two main waves was covered by a constantly moving melange of foam. The pale blue and white pastel were used in conjunction with the lightest turquoise pastel to give an illusion of this. A hint of dark turquoise was added in a couple of places along the front of the waves to enhance the feeling of depth and structure.
Shadow was also added to the water on the leeward side of the lone rock outcrop out in the surf.
