40' waves

I've just heard there has been 40' waves in Cornwall? Any news on these as I can't find anything on the net!

Duncan Scott, 29, from Newquay in Cornwall is dwarfed by the waves estimated at 55ft (16.7m) breaking on the reef at Mullagmore Head in Donegal Bay on the west coast of Ireland. Picture: Kelly Allen
