Some rough waves generated by a coastal storm at Cape Henlopen. Swells were about 1.2 - 2.1m.

Great subject and well displayed in the B&W format. They look almost like high key images, well done. I did similar shots in our south west but I won't hijack your thread.

Some good wave action there David. The mono treatment gives the mood of a very grey day.

Super waves David. How did the colour come out...?

[David_MC]

Not much different from the monos to be honest. It was an extremely gray day.

Been a few years since I braved that body surfing but find those waves unusual. Must be some rocks there I imagine. Nicely captured David.

The shoreline has a pretty gentle slope until you get out about 10-20m or so before there is about a meter drop off. Probably enough to cause them to break early.
