The way that wave is shaping makes it look tidal rather than oceanic. I don't recognise the rock colour though. I'm going to guess it is east of Burnham and english rather than Welsh coast.

Terrible guess /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

You are right about the tidal bit though

Hmm. Somewhere near Saul is now my guess from your latest picture. We are quite a way up river now.
Then again. don't know. Looks too wide for that far up. Good pic.

It's the Bitches in Ramsay Sound - looks very impressive, and I can't wait to sail through it (?)

Looks like the St Justinian lifeboat station. Are you continuing the Ramsey Sound theme?

That's the one, St Davids RNLI station at St Justinians.

For those that haven't been to Ramsey Island, here is a picture taken on the other side of the Island to the Sound. If you look carefully, you can see several male seals sunbathing on the rock in the centre of pic

This breakwater wall encloses one of the smaller harbours in the Bristol Channel area.
What is the harbour called?

Going by the coasteering group, who have probably just done the traverse from Barafundle Bay, is it Stackpole Quay? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

No, but you're moving in the right direction.
The people standing on the breakwater wall are holding paddles. I think they were being given instruction prior to going kayaking.

While they're musing on the answer, here is some light relief. I realised that getmapping (millenium project to photograph the whole of Britain from the air in detail) provide aerial photographs to Multimap. So I went to look at Ramsey Island, and the aerial photographs taken, just happen to have caught The Bitches in action
Ramsey Island to the left, and the Bitches are the white things in the middle! Zoom in for a look
PS you can use this tool to hunt for the harbour which is the current question, which is not all that far away if I'm correct.
