The Cape of Storms surely lived up to its name again. Howling Gail force winds reaching up to 70 km/h at Cape Point and huge sea swells from 5-8 metres along the coast causing lots of havoc.

One place that lends itself well for watching this drama unfold is Kalk Bay Harbour. The layout of the pier creates an immense upsurge of these swells smashing with thunderous intensity and engulfing the lighthouse in the process. Quiet unpredictable and not to mention dangerous…The restaurants at the harbour have previously experienced their share of these rough seas smashing their windows, this time though it was a mere cleaning surge with a odd mussel taking a peak…

Symphonic

Thunderous splash

Hair raising

Boats, even safely in the harbour were rocking about and had to be continously 're-tightened'.

Warm and safe with the odd window cleaning splash.

'Warming' up at the Harbour House Restaurant and keeping an eye on the lighthouse and would you believe some daring surfers too.
