We present an image-based approach to generate truly random numbers from the surface of water bodies such as oceanic bays. As a natural phenomenon, wind-generated gravity waves have non-deterministic behavior. We use the randomness of the angular relation between pairs of estimated surface normals to generate uniformly distributed random binary digits and build random numbers from those digits. Our approach produces compelling geometric models of water surfaces and generates random numbers with high entropy.
