Big wave - Cape Cornwall

Wave photograph at Cape Cornwall

After spending a few hours the other day looking for different angle to capture Cape Cornwall, I took a walk along the beach, past the harbour out to the right side of the cliff and saw this monster of a sand sucker working.

I estimate the wave face was building to about 12 feet. The wave was drawing out a huge amount of water, before reaching a crest and breaking on a messy, yet impressive right hander. In surfing terms, this wave closed out – big style, yet her brothers and sisters were working well across the rock reef below.

Not a surfing wave, but well worth a photograph in my opinion. This huge monster, breaking towards the sun was worth standing on shallow rocks to add to my record of Cornish waves. The sea spume and mist was hampering every shot I took. Lens cloth at the ready, listening out for the surge and one eye on the water level for my safety to bring you this wave in action. Please, if you are looking at capturing large waves, be careful. Know the tide state and remember, freak waves do occur – have a route to safety at all times.
