Stormy Waves

Very clean recording of huge waves breaking on the sandy beach at Bournemouth, with no wind noise or human sounds audible throughout. The Tascam DR-22WL was placed on a groyne, approximately 4ft above the waves and very nearly got wet - very close splashing sound with a thump as the water hits the groyne below.
