Waves at Cape Kiwanda...
These things where huge....

If that guy is 6 foot say, then this wave is about 96 feet tall!! They where about the same distance from me, and in the same line. One wave would roll up and hit the rocks then roll back and collide with the next one coming in and just explode. Quite a site it was, itshook the rock I was standing on.

Whoa...... amazing scale and very angry water there - surprised how goldish it is from the sand... very turbulent !

But also very beautiful... I want to visit this part of the coast (haven't done so yet......)

Jeremy,
Pretty dramatic shot. I know exactly where this is and I'm quite suprised at the wave action you caught here. Very cool!

I love storm waves but the rest of the family don't. :confused:
A spectacular sight and very cool image. Love the colors and detail.
