Winter Waves - Storm Waves Hitting The Pier In Porthcawl, Wales

The winter storm swell from ‘Storm Doris’ hitting the breakwater of Porthcawl Harbour, South Wales.

“Storm Doris’ was the official, understated name given by the Met Office. Although the main storm went north it still produced a large swell along the Bristol Channel coast.

To give some idea of the wave size, the cast iron lighthouse at the end of the pier is 30 feet high. This does not include the height of the actual wall itself.

The waves hit the breakwater at high tide which on average is 9 to 10 metres (27 to 30 feet) above the low tide mark. Although it can be as much as 12 metres. This is one of the biggest tidal ranges in the world.
