Storm Wave About to Break at St. Paul’s Bay

A large wave about to break at the shoreline of St. Paul’s Bay during a north-easterly gale in Malta.

A powerful north-easterly gale pushes heavy Mediterranean swell deep into St. Paul’s Bay on Malta’s northern coast. As the waves approach the shoreline, a large crest rises and prepares to break along the coast. The scene captures the tense moment just before the wave crashes, illustrating the raw energy of storm-driven seas along the Maltese coastline.
