Sea spray

Wind-torn spray off breaking waves along the shore: white bursts that climb and fall back, spindrift streaming low and a fine mist drifting downwind.

Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Range	What it does
strength (Can change over time)	number	0.6	0 to 1	how big the waves are: bursts climb from 2 m at 0 up to the throw at 1, thicker and more oftenCan change over time
throw	number	26	6 to 120 m	how high the spray climbs at full strength; open-coast breakers throw 10 to 30 m, cliffs and storms more
wind (Can change over time)	number	12	0 to 30 m/s	how hard the wind tears the spray and carries the mist away from the seaCan change over time
windToward	number	30	0 to 360 deg	the compass bearing the spray blows toward: 30 is inland, 120 and 300 along the shore
at	vec2	0, -262	-3000 to 3000 m	where the waves break, metres along the shore and inland of home's door; the waterline is about -262 inland
reach	number	60	5 to 400 m	how far along the shore the breaking waves run; short is one big plume, long a surf line
period	number	7	3 to 15 s	the time between waves: each wave sends up a fresh burst
spindrift	number	0.6	0 to 1	how much fine spray streams low along the wind just above the water; 0 turns it off
mist	number	0.6	0 to 1	how much pale mist hangs and drifts downwind of the breakers; 0 turns it off
viewDistance	number	80	5 to 1500 m	how far the camera is from the waves, so the droplets keep a steady size on screen
colour	color	#f3f7f9	–	the colour of the spray: sea water in air is white, a touch blue-grey in shade
