Just a few metres off the point there is a bombora that comes up from more than 20 metres to less than 4 metres. |
There we met up with a Naval boat which led us out through the huge swell generated by a bombora. |
Bombora Wave Power has focussed on designing a WEC that performs well in less extreme nearshore climates and is able to decouple its working surfaces from extreme waves. |
The early leader in the eight-runner field was Wantkey Kaliph, with Major and Blakes Heaven Bombora running well. |
To the south-east, just off the headland, there is a dangerous bombora at times, an area where broken waves can suddenly erupt. |
The superior local knowledge of the Easter Island boatmen was a distracting influence, but on the way in I had decided to anchor on the sandy patch close under the bombora. |
