Search for DA White Water!

I've heard "search for the white water" when surfcasting, I was wondering what this means,cause I can't find any white water,all I see when at the beach is well...blue.

white water is the foaming water when a wave breaks

Anywhere yu see white, like Slingah says after the wave breaks, the wash, along a bar, inside a cut, or along a rip.

PI was white all over today. Tough to pick a spot.

You shouldn't have a problem finding some tonite

Even the Canal has 4 footers and whitecaps

It looks like that.
In this instance, the whitewater is making up at a point, where a straight shoreline sweeps outward, transforming itself into a coveside.

Alrighty, That makes things so much easier to understand.

If you want a more in depth lesson on whitewater, take a look at this article by Zeno:

You can't really see it but there is a sand bar out there and 2 sets of waves
that bass will hide under the cover of the white water, made by the 1st wave
then when bait is confused and tossed around bass feed
