I hate to rain on your parade (
see what I did there!) but that's just bad weather with some big waves. And I hear big waves aren't all that uncommon in oceans...
And IceFire is quite right... Somehow it seems so ridiculous when its above zero and now snow and people go
"nasty winter we have boy howdy" 
And in the movies people are dressed like Michelin men and are shivering all pale,
"OMG it must be ten below in here!". It makes me throw bottles at the screen. And then I'm depressed that I didn't cause any pain to them.
But I guess all people can't have real winters... I hate being cold. But there's just something refreshing in having a walk outside when its > -20. The sun shines and gets amplified by the snow. And everything is dead quiet. Only your boots churning on the snow, and your wheezing breath... Too bad this winter sucks. We have barely had little under -15 here so far. And no snow. God damn global warming...
Anyway. While those are impressive waves, the pictures make me feel incredibly uncomfortable. They are just reeking of "miserable". But since the gulls are still flying, the weather can't be too bad...
