Winds brings foam storm to Brittany
Video captures port of Saint-Guénolé in Finistère covered in clouds of drifting foam
HIGH winds over the weekend brought a strange phenomenon to the coast of Brittany - clouds of drifting foam that almost resemble snow drifts.
A video of the port of Saint-Guénolé in Finistere shows the foam being blown in from the sea and covering houses, cars, gardens and boats.
The phenomenon is caused by an agitated sea, and wind that drives the foam into piles before blowing it ashore. Drifts of up to 50cm were noted in the town by Metro.
The storm saw gusts of up to 140kph across Brittany and into the Pays de la Loire.
