We set out to record the dynamic energy of coastal waters, from the gentle lapping waves of Lamma Island to the powerful, crashing swells along Korea’s rugged shoreline. This collection immerses you in the ever-changing moods of the sea, with recordings that range from calm, rhythmic water movements to the thunderous impact of waves colliding with tetrapods.

On Lamma Island, we recorded the soft, airy whooshes of water swirling against the shore—an ambient, almost hypnotic soundscape perfect for tranquil scenes. In contrast, the coastline of Mokpo, Korea, offered an entirely different experience. Here, we stood by the towering tetrapods as relentless ocean swells pounded against them, producing deep, resonant crashes that echoed across the waterfront.

Whether you're looking for soothing seaside ambiences or intense, high-energy wave impacts, this library delivers a versatile range of coastal water sounds for your films, games, and audio projects.
