This footage captured on Bundoran Beach, Co Donegal, shows '4ft foam waves' covering the entire stretch of sand.

"I work in the Great Northern Hotel and could see the foam on the beach from the hotel", Andrea Whelan told Independent.ie.

"So after work I went down to have a look and took the video because I'd never seen it like that before. It was baltic but looked so unreall!"

"Sometimes in very stormy weather you will see the foam but not like this, it was rolling in on the waves!"

"It was about 4ft deep up on the beach. The whole beach was covered."

A status orange wind warning has been issued for large parts of the country as Ireland prepares for the arrival of Storm Eleanor later today.
