The Erosive Power of Waves: Understanding Surf-Worn Beach Rocks

Surf-worn is a term used to describe the worn and weathered appearance of beach rocks that have been constantly exposed to the pounding action of waves over time. The rocks become smooth and rounded, with a soft, matte finish, as the constant friction and abrasion from the water wears away the rock's surface. This process can take years or even decades, depending on the intensity of the waves and the type of rock. Surf-worn rocks are often found along beaches where the waves are strongest, such as near the shoreline or in areas with high wave activity.
