Sea surge, huge waves close East London port

A storm which stretched thousands of kilometres across the southern Indian Ocean sent a surge of giant 8.2m surf to the East Coast, closing the East London port. For surfers and paddlers, this was a 26-foot swell, similar to the size of surf ridden at the North Shore big wave break, at Waimea Bay, Hawaii.
