October 24-26, it was stormy

Storm force Southerly winds blowing from France although warm caused big seas and Arbroath Harbour was out of bounds due to the waves crashing over the breakwater.

One photo below shows a wave breaking across the Foghorn completely covering it.
By the 26th the sea was still producing very large waves which were crashing onto the beach at Montrose.

Along with the winds had come heavy rain and I'd thought that salmon would be jumping the fall at Dalbrack on the North Esk but it's still not cold or late enough for them to be there in any numbers. At least it was a good day and the pictures actually had colour in them unlike the start of the week when all was grey.
