I visited Penzance Promenade, Newlyn, and Mousehole to capture some of the dramatic waves that had been hitting the Cornish coast. Although the storms were easing by the time I arrived, there were still plenty of impressive waves to film, making for an entertaining glimpse of Cornwall’s high tides and stormy seas.

The wind had dropped a little, but the sea was still restless, sending powerful waves crashing against the sea walls and harbour fronts. Along Penzance Promenade, water surged over the railings in bursts of white spray, drawing the attention of walkers and onlookers. The sound of the waves echoed along the seafront, deep and rhythmic against the granite wall.

In Newlyn, the harbour provided some shelter, but the waves continued to break forcefully against the outer wall, sending sheets of spray high into the air. Further along the coast, Mousehole offered a more sheltered view, where you could still feel the swell of the sea rolling in from Mount’s Bay.

Even as the weather began to calm, the energy of the sea remained clear. Each wave carried its own rhythm, and the changing light across the water made for some great filming conditions. Cornwall’s stormy days might bring challenges, but they also offer some of the most striking scenes the coast has to offer.
