    MPH, Last shot is fabulous. What an incredible wave size!! I made the mistake of going out to Loch More instead (far too windy and dull :-(((

    Good pictures, flying jet ski looks like a good piece of editing MPH.

    No editing seabird.The flying jet ski isnt "stuck on".They guy just lets ripp into the oncoming surf and goes into orbit.

    Was surprised by the wave size this morning but for the most part was really dull as well. Lucky enough to have the sun pop up at the right time for me.
    Huge waves coming over Thurso harbour breakwater tonight.

    Great photos, the surf was great the whole way along the North Coast to Groats, Seabird and I saw the rainbow effect in spray of the waves crashing onto Sannick beach, both of us had cameras but niether bothered as we were looking for wildlife, which was not very abundant today. Now why does it never be like this when they have one of those big surfing comps on???
    Away with the birds

    I think they had a cracker 2 or 3 years ago,had to be the biggest waves i've ever seen anyone surfing on.Wildlife was virtually zero along the beach area as well.
