Sharks Cove

Yesterday during the big swell, I stopped at Sharks Cove.  It was pretty impressive with the huge
waves, the noise and the spray.  Sharks Cove is the snorkeling spot right across from Foodland.
It's usually full of tour buses and tons of people.  Very, very calm most of the time.

I found this photo that shows pretty much what it looks like normally...
Photobucket
(Flicker photo)

....this is what was going on yesterday.  Almost exact same spot looking east.

these next ones are a sequence...






Same spot but, zoomed out to the outer reef breaking

By far my favorite shot.  A guy standing watching a huge locomotive size wave
roaring towards shore.
There really isn't anything I can compare this to.  These swells are something to be seen/heard.
We've been lucky enough to see "the Eddie" run once, hope it's not another 25 years.
