Description
This backwards wave is the result of the surf pounding the seawall and then bouncing back! The wave going out then runs directly into the next wave coming in. Best viewed zoomed.
I can't tell you how I close I came to being pounded by the other end of this wave!!!!!!!
PS can you see the ghostly face in the spray? It's near the highest part of the exploding water on the left side!

Stunning mate! I can see the face, maybe a warning.....'do not fall in me?' They used to do the wind kiteing where I lived at Deal, Kent...Though, without the girls! Great shot.. Rob

Nice action shot! I think I found the face....but this seems like a cunning plan to get people to zoom. :)

Definitely a ghostly apparition, now don't throw caution to the wind ... pardon the pun - great capture, Now I'm wondering which Beach it was ? ~Happy (and a safe) New Year~2012~ BB

Nice. LOL. Now, it´s a great shot. Yes I can see the face, looks like The Grinch. I wonder if the girl can see it, too. it must be a powerful wave to create that setback. I love the red seagull without body in BG!

Great shot! Love the ghost!

I think the girl and the face are looking at each other. Who knows what she sees! I love watching waves reflecting this way, though I once almost got in trouble in my boat because of it, since you can't predict the wave action.

I love this shot; I've seen this happen before, though never with a ghost!! Happy New Year!!

The wave is outstanding Andrew and a great POV. The girl is cute! The ghost is wild for sure and clear as a bell. Also noticed the parasail in the distance. Lots to see in this shot.

WOW! You really know how to make a splash! Yes, I see the face. I suspect this is a case for Mulder and Scully. I have experience with these types of shots as Lake Michigan does the same thing with our rock/concrete lakefront breakwaters. I've also learned from my aquatic photographic adventures that far enough away not to get swept over the edge is still not far enough away to avoid getting a very invigorating cold shower. Great shot!

aaarrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, pretty ghost! and accompanied by a dragon or ??? in the 2nd wave but with or without-, think it's a stunning shot!!!
