These two places are great fishiing marks so I thought I would go and check them out after the worst part of the storm. The waves were massive, I would suggest the wave you can see in the fourth image was about 25 foot high, its still a long way off in that photo and they were breaking when they got closer due to the massive backwash. If you know Porthleven you could see the waves clearly out to sea from the far end of the inner Harbour, over the stone built walls. They were huge and sadly these images do not capture thier size.
