I was a little surprised that a few of my photos caught some of the anchovies in the breaking waves:
A California Sea Lion swimming by (you can click on the image for a larger version):
A California Sea Lion diving after anchovies (its head is down to the left where you can see the fish):
A Harbor Seal surrounded by anchovies:
And one more for tonight — It was so cool to watch the sea lions chasing the anchovies through the waves! (The dark patch below and to the right of the sea lion is a very dense school of anchovies.)
ADDENDUM (3 August 2018): Although we initially thought these might be anchovies, it's possible they were Night Smelt — see the post from 2 August 2018 for an update.

I love these photos. The color of the water is gorgeous, isn't it!
Hi, Alice!
Yes, the water has been beautiful this past week -- an amazing turquoise color!
