Reply to comment by GregJamesDahlen in Can a song be surf music if it doesn't mention the ocean, surfing, etc.? What makes surf music surf music? by GregJamesDahlen

For me it is pretty much as you say. Growing up in the 60-70s these sounds were linked to the west coast beach culture. If you want something that is reminiscent of the ocean some of Enya’s (or others I’m not thinking of) music has that ebb and flow feel of waves on the surf.
