Porthleven High Winds & Stormy Seas, Cornwall, UK

I popped down to Porthleven today 07/01/22 expecting to see much bigger waves as the winds and swell were high.

Maybe I got there a bit too late. It was still worth going out and having a butchers though as it is always enjoyable to watch the rough seas anywhere in Cornwall.
