Slow motion footage of the giant waves at Sombro Beach in January 2020. The swell measured 7.5m or 25ft! The biggest I've ever seen out there. Shot on the Canon 5D MKIV
MEGA Wave Day at Sombrio Beach
in Landscape
The biggest waves I've ever witnessed hit the west coast of Vancouver Island yesterday. The swell forecast was 7.5m/25ft and it did not disappoint!! Sombrio was madness and the explosions off the point were hard to comprehend. Facing them head on was like a real life IMAX show - both in scale and sound! Storm watching is one of my all-time favourite things 🌊😆🌊 Here are some pics of the action!!
PS: No one in these photos was swept away. It’s a bit of an optical illusion with them being safely down the coast from the wave.

Sombrio Storm Waves - New Year's Day, 2020

Kicked the first day of the decade off with a trip to watch the waves out at Sombrio Beach. The massive surf has been non-stop this winter and it’s a blast to watch it crash onto the rocks! The power is insane…

This twisted arbutus along the trail at Witty’s Lagoon is one of my all-time favourite trees! Have you seen it before?

Stumbled upon this gem of a viewpoint earlier this week while I had some time to spare in Coombs. Easy to access with some crazy sheer cliffs and panoramic views!! Lovely place to take a break and watch sunrise/sunrise. Hiked around to the base of the cliffs as well, which were super incredible to behold from below! So many strange shapes and formations in the conglomerate rock. There were even a number of rare and impressive old-growth Douglas-fir trees! Unfortunately, illegal dumping appears to be a big problem here. Much of the cliff base looks like a landfill. Efforts have apparently been made to clean it up in the past but it keeps piling up. Come on humans, take care of special places like this! Google map
