Incoming Tide

I found this composition last year and was hoping to do some milky way shooting here on this particular weekend (a couple weeks ago) but the weather didn’t cooperate. The tide and surf were just what I was looking for but the sky never opened up for me. This was my first morning back at the spot to re-scouting for compositions because they were a bit foggy in my head from last year and I was pleasantly surprised with some nice light and a descent amount of water and surf. The rest of the weekend was pretty overcast so no Milky Way. Most of this is one frame. I did take a second frame for some addition wave action that I manually blended in.
