Tidal Flow

Goleta Slough is a place I enjoy visiting and painting and soaking up the smells of the ocean and the fresh breezes off the ocean. While standing or sitting on the small stretch of land between the Pacific coastline and the Slough one looks inland over the picturesque stands of eucalyptus which float in front of the beautiful Santa Ynez Mountain range surrounding Santa Barbara.
I was told that the regular flow in and out between the slough and the ocean is called a tidal bore.
