"Powerful Spring Tides and High Winds Unleash Spectacular Waves on English Shores"

Strong winds gusting up to 46 mph combined with high spring tides to create spectacular waves along the eastern shores of England. The higher-than-usual water levels challenged seawalls, leading to flood alerts and spray overtopping barriers. Photographer Owen Humphreys captured stunning images of the stormy seas near Seaham Harbour and Tynemouth pier. While the winds were expected to calm down, the high spring tides were set to continue through the weekend and into early next week.
