Phyllospadix scouleri, or surf grass is a North American flowering marine plant in the family Zosteraceae.
This slender, vivid green "grass" has long, flat blades. It gorws in large clumps or beds exposed during low tide and submerged at high tide. It is found attached to rocks in the middle to low intertidal zones to a depth of about 40-50 ft. Surfgrass is particularly beautiful as it waves back and forth
