bobby, the way it works is kinda cool when the temp drops below freezing as small amounts of ice form they crash together forming like snowballs and they crash together getting bigger and bigger as the waves get bigger these ice balls slam the shore creating mounds some as large as 10 feet or more as The Jazz said. I've see these crashing ice balls six or eight feet around. On low wind days some flat areas of ice balls freeze together and thus you may have two or three rows of ice mounds. When I was younger and able bodied we used to explore and areas where the waves pounded the mounds they left an occasional ice cave that would sometimes fit 3 or 4 people. Really cool but probably not very safe.
I found another one, this is cooler because it show the ice breaking up and refreezing.
See out farther how it's freezing over but in between it's shallower so the sun has it melted.
I should go through my picture's more often!
