33 Quotes About Waves To Post With All Your Beachy Summer Selfies

Summer is officially here, so you and your besties are all about soaking up the sunshine and saltwater. On weeknights, you've all been hopping in your cars and driving to the shore with snacks and a stereo in hand. As the sunset illuminates the waves, you’ve been having heart-to-hearts, while sitting on a blanket and basking in the pink glow. Now, you’re seeking out wave quotes for Instagram so you can post your salty yet sweet memories on social media and remember them forever.

While some people would wait until the temperature consistently rises over 70 degrees to adventure down to the waves, you know how rejuvenating the sea can be 365 days out of the year. The ocean has a way of putting the struggles of adulting, Mercury retrograde, and bestie issues to rest, and dipping your toes amongst the seashells reminds you to never let negativity tide you down. You always leave the shoreline feeling more inspired and calm than before, and like Mother Earth just taught you a valuable lesson.

That feeling is probably one of the main reasons why you keep coming back for more. The other reasons include being able to take your surfboard out, cuddle up next to a campfire while wearing your favorite crewneck, and snap radiant pictures of the rip curls. For those pictures, look no further than these wave quotes and captions for Instagram.
