MEGA Wave Day at Sombrio Beach

The biggest waves I've ever witnessed hit the west coast of Vancouver Island yesterday. The swell forecast was 7.5m/25ft and it did not disappoint!! Sombrio was madness and the explosions off the point were hard to comprehend. Facing them head on was like a real life IMAX show - both in scale and sound! Storm watching is one of my all-time favourite things πŸŒŠπŸ˜†πŸŒŠ Here are some pics of the action!!
PS: No one in these photos was swept away. It’s a bit of an optical illusion with them being safely down the coast from the wave.

Sombrio Storm Waves - New Year's Day, 2020

Kicked the first day of the decade off with a trip to watch the waves out at Sombrio Beach. The massive surf has been non-stop this winter and it’s a blast to watch it crash onto the rocks! The power is insane…

When you hear about an "Extreme Wave Hazard Advisory" there's only one logical thing to do - head to the beach!! Here are some photos from October 17, 2019 at Sombrio, where massive waves thundered and crashed along the coast. The scale and power was hard to believe!
