The second movement includes the drama of the waves as they appear "out of the shadows"; he calls them "milk-white combs" as they come "careering." He then observes that over the "beachy slush" there are "sand spirts of snow" that come in "slanting" as they move inland.

The storm creates a murkiness through which "the easterly death-wind" comes "breasting."
