THE SURGE THAT BUILT THE BEACH

There was a strong northerly for a day with a heavy swell that
diffracted around the point to create a series of rollers that rolled
the cobble up and down the beach face and with every surge, all the
stones move ever so slowly to the north. It is this action that over
millenia built up the gravel bench that makes up the majority of the
Williwaws.
