Recordist's notes
The waves breaking, probably one of the most recorded sounds. But I never actually made a proper recording of it. I accidentally drove past the beach when I realized there were no people and there was no wind. A good opportunity to make a recording. Recorded around 21:30hrs on March 5th, 2014. Recorded with a Zoom H2 with additional Sound Professionals SP-TFB-2 binaural microphones.
