Cape Town's stormy ocean
posted by Kerry-Anne
According to the weather services, Cape Town is in for one of the worst storms in 7 years this weekend, with swells of up to 10m expected along the Cape coast.We went out to Sea Point this afternoon to get a few shots of the ocean in full rage. As it turned out, we weren't the only ones who had that idea: visit Cape Town Daily Photo Extras to see more photos of the stormy seas, and of all the people who braved the cold to see Nature showing her spectacular power.

This has been on heck of a storm, how bad was the wind and rain last night???
Like Hayley said, it looks like hurricane Gustav took an unexpected turn!
What a great shot! The fellow on the right really puts the size of the waves in perspective. I'd be standing back too!
Thank goodness we've never seen waves and storms like this when we've been in CT. Hope everyone is safe and that your Spring will be along soon.
Thestorm makes for very dramatic photos though. Everyone looks freezing. Thank you for braving the weather!
Thanks for the comments, everyone! Unfortunately we couldn't get out to Sea Point today to take more pictures, but I believe it was quite a sight - foam all over the place, streets flooded, etc.
Hopefully the weather's well on its way to clearing up now, and spring will be along shortly. :)

You are right. It was quite a sight - foam all over the place, streets flooded etc.
