I keep a chart that shows the times of sunrise, sunset, high and low tide, as well as the phases of the moon. It helps me decide if and when I want to shoot at the beach, which beach, and the subject matter (tidepools, surfers, etc.) Shutter spped and apature would depend on the lighting conditions and what you were shooting, as well as the effect you were after... hth

A slow shutter of 1/30 and below will blur the motion of the water. Be carefull trying to do this when the sun is bright since it will likely cause over-exposure of the wave crests. Try to be aware of passing ships. They can create rare "story telling" moments. When you see one approaching, look around the beach to find something interesting to place in the foreground, and get into position compositionally before the ship passes through.
