As the water churns around the Fossil Forest at Curio Bay in the Catlins, Otago on the South Island of New Zealand, the waves show their true force as they crash against the rocky coastline. The spray from the waves nearly reaches the top of the overhang on the cliff, creating a magnificent show as the rough incoming tides show their natural power.
The coastline along the Fossil Forest is open to the ocean and large swells swoop in from the winds which blow farther out. A mixture of tidal movement and winds can make this rocky coastline one of the best for outdoor enthusiasts who love the large sprays which come off the waves as they connect with the shore.
