I remember seeing bioluminescence like that only one time in my life off a beach near San Diego, CA. It was just magnificent. The phenomenon only happened once in my 5 years there. If I recall correctly, it was right after a big rain, so the runoff had pumped a pile of nutrients into the ocean to fuel the explosion of the phytoplankton.
