What time did you take the photo, Mick?

I drove down Beach Road on my way home last night (Friday) at about 4:30 (just after H/W) and the whole length of the North pier was awash with waves breaking over its entire length.

Looking at how far the sea\'s come up the beach, you must\'ve been there around H/W aswell........it was a big tide today.
