A Cornwall Cornucopia

Amazing water colors and clarity at one of my favourite places to shoot. Usually fun shorebreak at high tide. Photo: Simon Rickwood

Amazing water clarity in West Cornwall. The lines this day were amazing. Couldn’t get in the water though as had my young boys in tow, board bags and beach bags and the climb down to this beach is pretty precarious - hence why it is good for nudies as not many people can get down there!

This wave seemed pretty excited to be on camera. First and only wave woody I’ve seen. Photo: Simon Rickwood

The Cornish coastline offers all kinds of waves and all kinds of ways to shoot them. Like the way this one is snaking its way inland. The Sidewinder. Photo: Simon Rickwood

I was at the beach with my family doing a beach clean for Surfers Against Sewage and the waves were epic. Squeezed in a few shots in between litter picking. Photo: Simon Rickwood

Dog walker and perfect left. Always wonder whether walkers, hikers, beach goers are as interested as me in the stunning waves breaking in front of them. Photo: Simon Rickwood

Last winter saw some epic swells and epic storms. Sometimes the wind was too strong to catch the waves, hence these perfect peelers rolled in unridden. Photo: Simon Rickwood

Amazing spray – had to go black and white with this one! Photo: Simon Rickwood

The shifted sandbars – the result of all the winter storms - have created some hollow tubes on the north coast. Photo: Simon Rickwood

Hard to tell but it was below freezing this day. A few brave souls out. Photo: Simon Rickwood

The storms last winter – there were four monster storms in total in pretty quick succession – created the biggest waves that Cornwall has ever seen. Great to watch, great to shoot. Photo: Simon Rickwood

One of the biggest, chunkiest waves I saw last winter. Photo: Simon Rickwood

When there’s a lull, there’s always something to shoot in Cornwall – wave checks and young love on the stunning Cornish cliff tops. Photo: Simon Rickwood

The biggest set I shot last winter and perhaps the biggest wave I’ve ever seen. The swell from Hurricane Hercules. Photo: Simon Rickwood
