"It was just crazy. It was like the perfect day. I've been going there for three years, trying to get good shots and that was by far the best day I had there," Evans said.According to Environment Canada meteorologist Daniel Liota, the short answer is "November gales," strong winds over marine areas that go faster than 64 km/h.
Evans admits windy days can be difficult on the beach especially with cold weather and sand blasts, but he made sure to wait out the snowfall to see the waves crash.
