The sky is filled with clouds, with a large, dark, greyish-brown cloud on the upper left side and lighter, white and grey clouds on the right. The sun is positioned low on the horizon, near the center, emitting a bright golden light that illuminates the clouds from below and reflects on the sea surface creating a golden path. The sea is in the middle of the image, with waves moving from the horizon towards the foreground and crashing against a dark, rocky outcrop that extends from the bottom of the image upwards. A splash of white water is visible on the right side of the rocks as a wave hits them. The rocks are dark, almost black, and appear rough and textured, taking up the lower portion of the image.
