Hmmm, rough seas scare me.
I hope there's not too much damage done when it's all over.

Your picture looks like the pier we have in this town Delonix :-)

Wow! You say it looks a like Southwold on a summer's day?!

The surfer are usually our here...however, too many white caps...further north at Torrey Pines Beach, Windandsea, and Cardiff-by-the sea...there were a lot of surfers...as the waves had better form and faces.

Sandra:

I heard this morning the Ocean Beach Pier has opened again...the damage must have been minimal.

Southwold must attract many tourists...if the waves are like these.
There were hundreds of people at the Ocean Beach Pier looking at the waves this day.
