Blow Hole at Black Point

When a sea cave grows landward and upward into a vertical shaft that becomes opened to the surface, a blowhole is formed.  If the shape of the cave and the state of the weather with regard to winds and tides are all aligned, then blasts of water from the sea can come out the top of the blowhole.  We felt the breeze/wind from the blowhole at Warderick Wells, but we didn’t see the water blow up from the sea.  While we were at Black Point, the sea state, the winds and the tides were perfect for us to see the Blow Hole in action.
