Breaking Storm Wave at St. Paul’s Bay

A large storm wave rolling over at the shoreline of St. Paul’s Bay during a north-easterly gale in Malta.

A powerful north-easterly gale drives heavy Mediterranean swell deep into St. Paul’s Bay on Malta’s northern coast. Large waves roll toward the shore and break dramatically along the coastline, illustrating the strength of the storm-driven sea. Even inside the bay, the force of the wind and swell creates impressive waves crashing along the waterfront.
