Is this the perfect wave? Probably not.
Is this the perfect wave? Probably not.
A tentative start for the surfer, many of the waves didn't break as well as they might wish.
Surfing at Roker Pier

These pictures of surfers were taken from Roker Pier. High tide was near, and there was an onshore wind from the east. The waves grew in height as they were driven around the curve of the pier. 6 surfers took advantage of the narrow band of surf, which extended perhaps 20 metres from the pier.
