Une mer forte lance de puissantes lames à l’assaut de la digue de Douvres. Le film, prévu pour être visionné individuellement sur les kinétoscopes contrefaits, est enregistré certainement entre 30 et 40 images par seconde, ce qui, par la suite avec les appareils de projection qui tournent à l'époque à 16 images par seconde, donne un rendu impressionnant, dû au ralenti .
