Re: Sea water blow hole

Here's one near me in Kiama, NSW





They're caused by waves compressing air in a cavern, as the wave recedes the compressed air forces the water up through a hole in the roof. There is a lot of noise (like whoosh ) and fine spray but the water goes about 10mtrs or more above the rocks.

Kiama has two blowholes this is the main one but a few kms away is the Little Blowhole which actually performs better than this one
