The image displays a coastal scene on the beach of Zarautz, Spain, under a clear blue sky with sparse, faint clouds. The horizon line is sharply tilted, diagonally spanning from the upper left to the lower right. The ocean, characterized by dark blue-green water, features multiple lines of white breaking waves receding towards the shore. A single individual is visible partially submerged in the water, positioned among the waves in the mid-right section of the ocean. The foreground consists of brown sand, transitioning from wet and compacted near the waterline to drier sand further up the beach. Several distinct human footprints are impressed into the drier sand. A dark, vertical object, possibly a shadow or part of an item held by the photographer, is partially visible along the extreme right edge of the frame.
