Bournemouth: big waves alongside the pier
Bournemouth: big waves alongside the pier
Today consisted of heavy bursts of rain interspersed with sunny patches, with high winds throughout. Here, another big wave pounds the landing stage along the eastern side of the pier - it had been closed to the public.

Meanwhile, to surfers this weather is a utopia and many can be seen taking advantage of the conditions.
