Highest Surf I've Seen by jgpittenger

Highest Surf I've Seen

We had huge surf over the weekend...so dangerous that two children and their father were drowned. I went down to Shore Acres to photograph and there were literally hundreds of people there...not my thing. So I didn't stay long. This was taken from a different spot than I often stand. The viewing platform is about 60 ft from ocean level and the splashes were at least 30 ft higher. Apparently 60 ft waves were measured a bit North of here!
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Goodness me! High here too as Storm Duncan has hit. Extraordinary winds out there today. Lovely shot of this.

You've captured the power with those tiny people on the cliff. So amazing as the surf almost looks like it could be a cloud!

Oh my gosh Jane, so glad you stayed somewhere safe. Just wish some of our tourists from Asia had the same respect for the power of the ocean.

Lovely capture
January 14th, 2020  
Wow, I wouldn't be venturing too close either. So many people don't give the ocean the respect it deserves :)

That is just one incredible shot...the sense of scale! And so accommodating that there is a red (and a green) jacket! Glad you stay safe!
