A coastal blowhole is a natural geological feature formed when ocean water is forced into a narrow opening in coastal rock, creating a spout of water that shoots up into the air. This phenomenon typically occurs in rocky shorelines where waves crash with significant force, pressurizing the water in underground cavities. When the pressure builds up enough, it escapes through the blowhole, resulting in dramatic water jets. Blowholes can vary in size and intensity, often influenced by tidal changes and wave conditions.
