It's very hard to watch because the the camera moves around way too much. Thank you for posting, but please just stop moving around so fast and so much.
I really feel for you guys down there, I have nothing but the sweetest memories of Cornwall and actually caught my first sea bass on this beach. The last time we came down on holiday we stayed in a cottage in Tehidy, we bought pasties from a bakers in Red Ruth and fished all day. That night we swapped mackerel for pints of cyder at the local pub. This absolutely heart breaking to see.
A lengthy video but very well filmed. Bloody hell I didn’t know Perranporth could get waves as rough as that. The locals may have ended up seeing some jellyfish in the river, what with the way the ocean was sweeping into it. I sometimes go to this lovely seaside town on days out from Truro.
Omg I still go to this beach I’m in perranporth rn and I’ve never seen the beach have a bad tidal surge like this for years bc I go to Cornwall 2 a year once in the summer which is rn and then one in may
lol... there are a number of places in Cornwall that suffer with high tide surges, it's just they get even more dramatic when a storm is behind them.. like this one ua-cam.com/video/0j13U8DFnls/v-deo.html in Polzeath where the water rushes across the beack, the beach carpark and into town, it's due to the long narrow bay, it acts like a funnel forcing the water to get higher as it comes in and move really fast. Google Polzeath high spring tide. Catches holiday makers out every year when they park in the beach carpark and don't check the board for high spring tides lol.. then they wonder why there car is under water. :D Same with Newlyn, ua-cam.com/video/CmRYAqhf-pk/v-deo.html when it's high spring tide with a storm behind it, it forces the water up a narrow river bed and dumps all those gallons of water in town. Which is why it floods so often. :D View from other side of bridge.. ua-cam.com/video/GVi4VZ0H2Qc/v-deo.html
Brilliant film .....Perranport is a beautiful place but this is scary considering I have walked many time round here and across the beach....wow...fantastic and just shows the dangers of the sea......Well done movie man......
To everyone complaining about the cameraman moving around too much, shut the hell up and just watch the video. If it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t have this video to complain about.
I remember going to Perranporth on a hot summer's day a few years ago, the sea was about 10 minute walk out from that little bridge! In this video's that would be under 30 feet of water!
luscious force of nature. would love to have been there - but not dangerously close of course. last walked the sands in the summer - will there be any left now?!
I always found another good spot for high tides was at the top of cliff road and down the steps in the St Agnes side of chapel rock, you get some really nice loud and deep booms from the waves being rebounded in the caves.
its still pretty rough in Cornwall, we've just had more spring tides. I've posted a video here showing some of the recent breakers - Cornwall sea storms - monster waves smash the coastline.
The tides at the head of the Bay of Fundy in Minas Basin in Canada are 15.85 meters twice a day, every day. Where I live in Saint John, New Brunswick, the Fundy tides are just under 7 meters and enough to reverse the flow of St. Jon River twice a day, just look up Reversing Falls Rapids on UA-cam.
Actually, would have been better if he didn't keep moving the camera around and zooming in & out. Whatever camera lens he's using isn't good enough to compensate for motion.
The watering hole pub was always slightly raised... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/85/Perranporth_Beach_and_The_Watering_Hole.JPG but seemingly by sheer fluke, the waves turned the slope into a huge cliff edge, and protected it. So far it's survived pretty much unscathed I think!
the camera operator needs to seriously chill out. stop panning or sweeping back and forth sooooo damn fast. you have spoilt what would have been a great video.
This is not a Tidal Wave. It's like a large wave that happens under the waves caused by the storm. I've seen the exact same thing happen on a smaller scale at certain surf spots...
Anybody owning houses close to high tide mark today would do well selling ASAP because sure as eggs are eggs, the high tide mark will only creep higher!
Water is such a dangerous thing I remember when I was 5 years old I went swimming with my brothers and sister and I didn’t know the difference between deep end and shallow end so I ended up jumping in the deep end if it wasn’t for my brother saving me I wouldn’t be here today and ever since that has happened I’m terrified off water
Yes I do see the terrible conditions these people are going through but my comment wasn't aimed at them but those that don't believe in science. I'm assuming you're Trolling me because I'm sure you see the sarcasm flowing from my comment? ;-D
That is awesome, and frightening. Thanks for the video.
Absolutely love watching the sea spring tides n storm surges

Amazing footage, I've never seen it like that before. Thanks for uploading
Hold still, damnitt!
Exactly! Keep the camera pointing in one direction for more than two seconds at a time.
Filmed by a meercat
Yeah I gave up 🙄
Keep the camera still storm man

Nice video, try panning a little more slower for better results. 😃

I don’t know why but it’s so satisfying to see water flow over dried surfaces
Wow, such a tender fury of mother nature with all of the ocean pushing forward
There must have been a hell of a storm out there.
Very relaxing video. Thanks for posting.
I wanna live here, sit cozy in a chair with a hot drink and watch this from my window.

I lived here and did that very thing,in a house just behind where the camera man is standing,so amazing to see

Large long period swells can exhibit tsunami-like characteristics as seen here. First time I've ever seen anything like this on video.
Wow, I know this wasnt a Tsunami, but the end section really reminded me of some of those Japan Tsunami vidoes.
tidal surge - scary stuff
I remember these storms, started around late 2013 and carried on all the way upto Feb-March 2014. Made you realise how much of a beast nature is.
To everyone complaining about the cameraman moving around too much, shut the hell up and just watch the video. If it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t have this video to complain about.
Oh poor Perranporth, been there many times it's a beautiful place to be. Stay safe xx
Oh god, I walked on that beach in July last year right out by the rocks. That's a high tide!
Well done! I like this film because it warns locals just how bad the storms are
Wow. That's some surge. Really powerful.
Learn to slowly pan the camera....
Wow great video, just can you please try to keep the camera in one place, literally gave me a headache with all the to’ing and fro’ing.
P.s. was it as cold as what it sounds in the video. ?
Ok, I apologise, I should not of been too quick to criticise. It was literally only in the first few minutes… my bad. Sorry!
Great footage
Perranporth under siege - huge storm surge and cool sound effects from the elements
Wow
I grew up in perranporth,and remember the tides very well.
Amazing to see that huge tide roll in and out. 👌

Very rough seas down in cornwall! I lived there back in 2008.
I always found another good spot for high tides was at the top of cliff road and down the steps in the St Agnes side of chapel rock, you get some really nice loud and deep booms from the waves being rebounded in the caves.
Agreed
Although i am not a local i have visited Perranporth and stayed many times since my childhood days have never seen it this bad before.
Nice to see from my South african home as l have family who have taken me there. They live on
Fistral beach, Newquay. Thanks for sharing. Glynnis Pmb.
i love the way it always leaves those sandbanks along tne watering hole
its still pretty rough in Cornwall, we've just had more spring tides. I've posted a video here showing some of the recent breakers - Cornwall sea storms - monster waves smash the coastline.
Amazing video 👌👍
Wow, the sea is very powerful and strong, good camera footage of the sea forcing it,s way up the canal entrance.
Wow, never seen it that far up!
Loads of parking, brilliant!!

"7.40am, the tidal surge reached a height of 7.40m" its 7:40 and 7:40m?????!!!!!
Cool video of storm surge there mate.
Actually, would have been better if he didn't keep moving the camera around and zooming in & out. Whatever camera lens he's using isn't good enough to compensate for motion.
when the sea's a washing machine. I love the power of nature.
The watering hole pub was always slightly raised... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/85/Perranporth_Beach_and_The_Watering_Hole.JPG but seemingly by sheer fluke, the waves turned the slope into a huge cliff edge, and protected it. So far it's survived pretty much unscathed I think!
They're still recovering from the surge damage today 😎
How does the Watering Hole survive this time after time?
Looks like a Storm Surge
Didn't the Pet Shop Boys filmed here in "Always on My Mind" video?
What happens to the Watering Hole in these times? Does it survive?
Watering hole was or is the pub on the beach..
Stop moving the damn camera!
I think I seen another video of this place . Is that right ?
anthony barnes how would I know what videos you have watched!
Pretty bad here in Wales, too. Check out my video of waves on Swansea seafront, taken the day after you filmed this.
When Mama Nature skips her meds. That's scary.
Looks very much like a succession of Tsunamis, not just a rising tide.
It is not the rising tide, it is a surge caused by the weather and made bigger/higher by the moon.
I used to live in a house overlooking this beach ,as soon as the sea got like this we put our wellies on and ran down to the sea front!
Recommended in 2020
I lived there for a short time...1995 (I think)👍
I moved there in 95
the camera operator needs to seriously chill out. stop panning or sweeping back and forth sooooo damn fast. you have spoilt what would have been a great video.
It looks like a tsunami. I don't think I'd stand there filming.
so how come the pub is on a lip their lol, theyre very lucky they are but i dont get it lol
Great footage!
Y'all should go to Orlando it's warm here and lots of theme parks
Awesome video man got anymore?
My god. The Watering Hole pub came so close to being taken!
You local?????
Crimes. Is the Watering Hole still there?
measure the wave periods. This was a small local tsunami
A tsunami is caused by an earthquake or landslide, this is a tidal surge that is caused by weather and made bigger by the moon. Two different things.
Will the watering hole survive???
My parents had their honeymoon in Perranporth in 1960
Seems a weird thing to do, clicking the LIKE button. Scary stuff, but nice vid. Hope you're OK.
Tidal flow is the king of the beach.
Very nice vid, thanks.
This is not a Tidal Wave. It's like a large wave that happens under the waves caused by the storm.
I've seen the exact same thing happen on a smaller scale at certain surf spots...
Nice video thanks for sharing, stay safe tho.
7.42 onwards very nice.
I was there last night watching Tom Jones
I've even been on that very beach!!
Same
I only go to Perranporth on a nice sunny, calm day 😎
i was there the other year a fab pub on the beach i hope it was ok
the watering hole. :D It's fine!
I used to play in the pub on the beach a few years ago with my band jabaru great day’s
Move slower please I can't watch it its hard on my eyes with guick movement
It's not live. It was recorded years ago.
Anybody owning houses close to high tide mark today would do well selling ASAP because sure as eggs are eggs, the high tide mark will only creep higher!
What would happen if you jumped in it
He'd get wet.
Nice
awesome

"What are you talking about, clement change, what clement change, there's no clement change."
I know, I know, this was in 2014, so what's your point?
your post is yet another example of how stupid people can be.
Yes I do see the terrible conditions these people are going through but my comment wasn't aimed at them but those that don't believe in science.
I'm assuming you're Trolling me because I'm sure you see the sarcasm flowing from my comment? ;-D
Should have listened to your doctor and laid of the caffeine. Twitchy much?
King tide
Tomorrow I'm going there
If you put adds on this video you would of made a lot of money !
Spring tide near the perihelion ...
Would've been more shocking if you showed us how it normally looks like
The tide is usually way out past the rock with the flag pole
very good vid
Amazing video, nice to watch but sympathy for all affected by it
Dude from Japan: I see nothing.
Laughable compared to what we get in Australia but still, a very quick tidal surge.
Is this Australia ? hope there are no alligators in that lake ;-(
It is Britain and that's the fucking Sea..... Wow...
NOT Australia!! This is Cornwall at the southwestern tip of England UK.
Erikas Uzumedskis
Erikas Uzumedskis Nice try but I was right , it IS OZ ;-P
Perranporth, Cornwall, UK. Nowhere near Australia. And that is the north Atlantic Ocean, not a bloody lake.
2 or 3 surges ..that was a tsunami if wind tidal surge it would be constant rise...
3:43 is there a shark 🧐😔
