On the hottest day of the year, the waves were hitting the cliff and rebounding back out to sea. It's called backwash: The children like to play in it, and it seems the sea likes it too.
That's a lovely video, except I find those incoming waves and reflected waves a little -- maybe a lot -- dangerous for most folks to be swimming or surfing in. Furthermore, the nearby cliff makes it an especially dangerous place to surf, at least to my untrained eye. Throw in that shark warning at the end, and, well, gee, that's some place to be in the ocean with or without a surf board!

Looks fun! Exilerating and SCARY! As you say, it looks like the sea is having fun. Of course wrestling with a tiger might also look like fun!
i just loved it!
and all the colours of the water as it churned and rose up - just beautiful.
That is amazing footage! Tell Isabella I was spellbound....
That was fantastic! I felt like I was laughing and screaming along with them!
(Was that the shark siren at the end?)
My son would just love that.
Amazing video. Isabella will go far in the world I think.
Yes the sea did look to be having a jolly time too.
pretty fun, and great to watch,
but it was filmed by isabella's friend *ahem* named adam...
yes, suse, that was the shark siren, and I was out there somewhere swimming, not too far away...
I wish I was there instead of sitting at my desk at work
(shark siren notwithstanding...)

You might as well enjoy it - when nature puts on a show like that, it's hard to refuse :)
Did you see that 'The Smack' won a major prize?
I was reading the paper and the title jumped out at me.
How cool! We also have wild waves but the water is so cold that only brave adults in full wetsuit venture out.
How wonderful to sit here in my safe space and enjoy the adrenalin of this surf spectacular.
