We do not have any substantiated reason to believe the photo was falsified. It fits with both videos from Mahobeachcam and the Sunset Bar and corresponds to adsb tracking as well.
The altitude must be seriously lower than 100 ft leaving a trail of backwash behind.
JACDEC suggested a height of 15-20 meters at the moment when the photo was taken. LINK
