Sea spray leaves house blanketed in thick layer of gunk


The amazing scene in Perranporth, Cornwall, was caught on camera by Gordon Blanks, 77, on Wednesday.

He said: 'The wind was very strong and I could just about stand up. It is the first time in 15 years I have seen the foam as bad as this.

'Perranporth was deserted as I think all the sensible people had stayed inside.'

The foam is thought to be the result of strong winds blowing in one direction and whipping the sea up into a froth.

Sea spray whipped up by high winds was believed to have created the foam that blanketed the beach and sea front

Local restaurant manager Freyja Munding said she had only seen foam as thick as this once in her lifetime.
She said: "When the chef arrived in the morning he told me to go outside and have a look.

'Our bins and signs had been blown down the road and the pub car park was covered in foam too - it was very weird.'

Craig Baldwin, a lecturer at Falmouth Marine School, said the foam is created by organic materials in the sea's eco-system.
