The painting depicts a group of people in the ocean. The water is choppy and brownish-green at the bottom with blue at the top. The people are wearing dark bathing suits with red accents. Some are standing and some are sitting in the water. The water appears to be splashing up around the people. The painting has a textured surface with visible brushstrokes. The color palette includes shades of green, blue, red, and brown. The sky at the top is blueish-gray.
