Popham Beach: Wind and Waves Do Battle

It was a windy day at Popham--so much so that the wind was cutting off the faces of the waves.  There were several surfers who were out riding the waves as they came in.  As the tide began to shift in, there was a battle being waged between a tidal stream returning to the ocean and the waves coming on in--as they both sought to claim the exposed sand bar.  In the second picture, you can see the V formed by these opposing forces.
