The wind is up…pics of angry seas please.

No longer a coastal dweller and I miss watching the waves.
Send me a choppy fix.
Ps don’t stand too close to the edge.

I’m taking the boys out in a bit to see the waves, will try to get some snaps then 😀

Exmouth yesterday (not exactly angry, but coastal!)

Plenty of pics here from december 5 2013

Was down there yesterday, Morrisons was like a third world feed station, people buying all the food due to it being shut on christmads day.

Beginning of December…

Alnmouth was rough this am in my way home but didn’t stop for a pick was was bollocked post nights and needed to get home for the Mrs to get to work.

So.

This was Newhaven before the big flood storm we had a couple of months back;

This is a customer’s ship coming out the harbour. Bear in mind this is a full size car ferry…

Was quite big earlier today at Holywell Bay, after this mobile snap we went down to Sennen, properly big – will upload some photo’s at somepoint.

That used to be the ferry which served Orkney and Shetland. I had a few rough crossings on her, none quite that bad though.

That ferry vid is mental. Made me feel quite queasy!.

There’s not so much wind here in Austria so it’s pointless showing you picturrs of the ocean lapping the shores here.

No pics but I’m back in my home town for xmas and been told the tales of the tide surge from a couple of weeks back. The lifeboat house was in the direct line of the surge and the crew manned the station and decided it best to open the doors to let the wave through rather than take the force of it square on. They were on the gallery above the boat when they watched a six foot wall of water push through and leave twenty tons of shingle in the boathouse.

Edit: That Ferry looks Mental

@egf, how long ago was that picture taken? Not been anywhere near the piers in a while but they’ve tarted up the lighthouse recently so it must’ve been a while back.

The waves weren’t that spectacular yesterday, although my kids still enjoyed it.

It was very windy though, this newly planted tree was nearly uprooted and a gust took my son’s hat clean off his head and into the sea.

@northernmatt, they are doing up the full promenade at Roker and may even drain the tunnel along the pier and re-open that.

This picture (not mine)was taken at Seaham during the storm swell:

I was involved with the replacement dock gates there a few years back and we designed them to withstand a swell. At the time the contractor queried how much rebar was going in but when you see the power the sea has, it’s satisfying to know the right choices were made.

There’s a few more I uploaded to flickr.

No pics but I’m sure my daughter is seeing some big seas just now Bow crew on a boat doing the Sydney Hobart I’m not really worried 😯 just tracking boat about every 10 min’s

I think a bump is in order.

This is a customer’s ship coming out the harbour. Bear in mind this is a full size car ferry…

I think I’d be terrified and yet very excited if I was on that.

Nothing that can be embedded, but there is plenty of good coverage here:

knock yourself out…. telegraph.

Nice pictures with the lighthouse in, the sea is pretty awesome.

OK, not waves – just shows how serious it’s getting up in Cumbria…

😆

Some large waves at Blackpool today.

No photo’s as I can’t link from my phone, but I’ve just seen photographs of waves crashing over the sea wall at Exmouth.. Not particularly extraordinary during a big storm at high tide, except for the fact that high tide is still over four hours away!

And now I’ve finally found out how/where to upload a video clip…

Amroth beach in Pembrokeshire this morning..

Those pics of the sea front at Aberystwyth having been demolished and replaced with more beach are amazing.

Oooh that cliff fall by the fisherman’s huts in Hastings was scary . I wonder what the rest of the coast is like?
I won’t be visiting the nudist beach in a hurry!

Tonight’s news, the footage of that little hill going down to the beach at Newquay… 😯
