Taken at about 1440 hrs 3rd December 2006 after winds reached about 75-80 mph over night.

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.

I think I was down at Porthleven for these storms too - got some photos somewhere. It is so impressive to watch and we regularly go down to watch the waves when the sea is big like this.

Nice photos, bet it took a few frames to catch the waves like that.
I like the evening shots, good work.

WOW ! now that is a heavy sea.
I reckon it will be worth fishing those marks as soon as that swell dies off a bit.
Tight lines!!!
