Wild seas

The first heavy seas of winter have arrived! No wonder the noise has been deafening! I can't remember when last we had such stupendous breakers, but then the sea has been so flat for so many months that maybe the memory fades.
This is what living in Kommetjie is all about - ultra-white surf in a sea of ice-cream green, accompanied by rumbling across the bay as the air is forced from the inside of the waves, rich ozone-laden spume tossed across the surface and laid across the rocks as the tide rushes up the shoreline, sea lice scrambling to safety on higher ground, warning us of higher seas to come - as always, like a thief in the dead of night.
