These waves were videoed a few days ago at Cape Verde. It shows
the power of long-period waves even though the height is
relatively modest. I make the period something like 13-15 seconds

Super photos. I bet he got a good number of duff ones before he

It's 5 hours early but a Happy New Year to one and all when it comes!
I'll shortly be shutting down for the night and getting my hand round a
glass of something with a peaty flavour that comes from Islay :-)
