Spouting Horn - when you are lucky

Kauai's Spouting Horn results from waves crashing into the beach and forcing water through a tube left as lava cooled. The larger the wave, the higher the water spouts. Tourists show up to take photos and the impressiveness of what they get depends on the waves that happen to be rolling that day. This take your chance seems to apply to several natural phenomena. For example, the trip to view the beautiful Waimea Valley and the distant coastline is available only when the fog and clouds allow. Predicting when the view will be available is difficult and we are 1/3 in making the trip. The element of chance makes saying you have witnessed the view more rewarding.
