Description
I captured this photograph at Thunder Rock Cove within the Samuel H Boardman State Park scenic corridor of Southern Oregon. Unique landforms, sea caves, sea stacks, and adjacent rocks combine with the hydraulics of powerful crashing waves to funnel water and air into dramatic, thunderous eruptions. The "thunder" echoes through the cove and is truly a unique experience.
The trail to Thunder Rock Cove in Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor is 0.8 miles meandering along the Oregon coastal cliffs. There are great views from the trail both north and south as well as down to Secret Beach which is accessed from a trail offshoot of the Loop Trail to Thunder Rock Cove.
The phenomenon is that when a large wave enters the cove, it is forced to wrap around and into a sea cave carved out of a cliff. Massive amounts of water and air are forced back into the cave thus creating so much pressure that when the wave strikes the back and when the forces on the air and water cannot push any further, the wave and air are forcefully expelled backward thus creating the thundering sound that often reverberates through the rock and cove. The thunder sound is much louder during storms and large swells.
