Flood warning for here tomorrow, first time I have seen that.

10 metre tide at exactly the same time as the peak of the storm :eek:

Why 10 stopper?

Big waves are surely for capturing with short exposures?

And you don't want to be on the beach at high tide ;)

Approx 4.30pm btw, so dark by then[DOUBLEPOST=1386190600][/DOUBLEPOST]

You don't get the storm surge that side though I don't think

was only kidding about 10 stopper :D . Just can't get any motivation to get out with my camera, and I used to love getting along the coast with it :confused:
 
The biggest problem for me will just be getting to the coast
 
If your after waves coming over the lighthouses it's sometimes best to catch them before high tide. I've been down Roker at times where the waves just roll over the pier at high tide as the water is that high it doesn't crash against the pier wall.

If things go to plan I should be there by 1 anyway, dark by high tide
 
I got to the coast, but discovered that taking photos into a 70mph wind, hailstones and pressure jet salt spray doesn't work very well.

Next time I try to take wave photos will have to be on a calm day :lol:

We didn't even have decent waves

Wind direction totally wrong

Interesting to see the storm surge like (the pier was almost getting overtopped by the time I left)

But you could hardly call it dramatic or exciting. Nice light and cloud, but no real chance for decent compos
 
Looks perfectly fine to me :p

The ferry shot is great

Bit noisy like

Should see the original before I applied noise reduction to it - it was 10 times worse. That's the 7D at ISO400 for you :(

Anything from the West though will mean no swell on the East Coast, so waves yes, but not high ones.

If there are already big swells the wester will stand them up lovely before it flattened off
 
Aye, on closer inspection you can see a bit of the sea wall just to the right of the most right person. :lol::lol:

New to me this photochop business. I was a 35mm film man!
