The waves were a combination of a very high tide and the same weather systems that have been causing such chaos in the UK.
We were talking to someone last night who had a very lucky escape at Algar Seco when taking photos.
Not only did the west coast get more damage further north they are getting heavy rain as well.

Did O Stop at Centeannes survive and Reis Das Praias at Canarios
They are both on the front line and exposed
The photos of O Boneco are scary, I am surprised it's standing

Rei de Praias is OK we were told last night, may drive up to look at O,Stop later today if time permits.

The local who fish cannot wait for the waves to drop as the conditions will be the best for some time.

Warnings out for next week again, Tuesday is Forecast as bad re high seas.
Just a word of warning the cliffs will be very unstable as a result of the beating they have taken, take care when out walkng and do not venture near the edges and definately do not cross areas which have been taped off.

O Sto looks undamaged, Boneca has some damage to the roof, remarkable considering the waves that were seen at Algar seco.
The fisherman are already out on the rocks.
