This is the amusing moment bioluminescent waves captivated visitors at Newport Beach, California.

Footage shows tourists marveling at the mysterious blue-green light on October 15.

Bioluminescent waves refer to ocean waves that emit glowing light due to the presence of bioluminescent organisms, such as certain types of algae or plankton. When these organisms are disturbed - by waves, movement, or other interactions - they produce light, creating a stunning and often mesmerizing display.

This phenomenon is typically seen at night, giving the water a vibrant glow, usually in shades of blue or green. It can occur in various coastal areas and is particularly associated with conditions like red tides or algal blooms.
