Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHere it comes. Look at that first set rolling in toward the dark sand, clear blue sky, zero warning.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWatch the second wave, it breaks early and the whole thing goes white.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRun it back.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFine. It's continuous. The foam never stops, and it's honestly the most committed thing on tonight's show.
