- On Friday December 23, 2022 a massive storm hit the New England coast. This, with an astronomical high tide created the biggest waves I've ever seen at Portland Headlight. Monster waves! I braved the weather and went to photograph the event and arrived about an hour before high tide. By the time high tide came, I was completely soaked, I mean absolutely drenched. So I decided to head home. What I didn't know is that it got even worse, but luckily some good photog friends documented it. Oh, and don't worry there are many more wildlife videos coming, I'm just going to be mixing it up a bit with Maine content.
Absolutely Spectacular So Exhilarating
Intense for sure Chelese!
Crazy waves. Great shot at the end!! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was wondering what the coast looked like thank you for bringing this to us!!! Crazy
Thanks Joe, you've inspired me to mix it up a bit. I only wish I didn't get drenched so I could have stayed for the outgoing tide.
Wow, that was nuts!! Not sure how you would ever stay dry in that situation.
Thanks Garrett, you don't! I couldn't believe how fast I got soaked. I need to upgrade my rain gear, but even then.....
Love Maine. Beautiful state. Great people too.
Sorry I missed responding! I agree, Mainers are as honest as you can get, and will help anyone when they can! Proud to be a Maineah!
That was insane! Thanks for taking one for the team, haha. Happy Holidays
Thanks Ed, and Happy Holidays to you and your family as well!
Holy crap!!! That was absolutely wild!! Great job putting that together and braving the storm.
Thanks buddy!
WOWEE! That was so incredibly dynamic footage! Thanks for braving the elements. Your go pro did a great job as did you. Exciting!
Thanks, and I'm glad you enjoyed. It was fun being out there!
Awesome video. I have been out there during hurricanes and never saw waves like that. Very impressive!
Agreed, and I think the wind being out of the southeast made a huge difference. I've never seen the ocean that angry.
Yikes I was just talking to a friend that lives up that way and he wasn’t kidding that’s awesome
It was insane and even got worse after I left.
Yikes Thunder hole was insane when I saw the video of it I’ve never seen thunder hole as wild as it was yesterday
@@trailcamerasinnewengland0112 Crazy!
This is what I've always pictured a light house looking like. Thanks for putting yourself through that.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was exciting for sure.
I have been there when the waves were angry but not quite this angry....Exciting though... Thanks for the video....
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Sandra! I doubt I'll ever see another storm in my lifetime there. This one was historic for sure.
Wow!! Thank you enjoyed it
I'm glad you enjoyed it Judith!
Mainer that was awesome footage mr. Awesome thanks for sharing this great footage👍👍🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🦌 THE Vermonter BS
Thanks! I love wicked weather.
Iv'e been there 3 or 4 times in the past during the tranquil summertime, your shot is excellent under the conditions and you are a brave soul to go out there in those conditions. I never thought the waves could be so big and the overwash is rediculous. thanks again and stay safe !
Thanks Robert, I bugged out of there right after. It actually got a lot worse an hour later.
Awesome footage !!!
👍👍
Thanks Marc, I only wished I had stayed longer. :)
been here a few times but never in a storm let alone a storm like this that was insane but very cool!!
As a Maine native I've had the luxury to visit and photograph PHL many times. This storm was historic.
@@MaineWoodsbooger yeah use to live in Bath for a number of years until I moved away from home and on with life and only been back couple times since then.
Great stuff there, thanks for sharing!👍👊
Thanks, appreciate you watching and glad you enjoyed!
I can see why they named it Portland, it’s almost identical to Portland Bill in the UK. Lighthouse Carpark the lot we even get the same crazies go out on the edge in a gale, amazing.
THat wasa crazy strom, glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely beautiful! Can you make stills from this video?
Thanks, I'm not sure, I think I can form the GoPro cameras. I'll have to try an figure it out.
Amazing footage! Wow! Is this the same storm that damaged the lighthouse?
Thanks, yes this was the same storm, about an hour later a monster wave damaged the building. I was soaked at that point!
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL man BEAUTIFUL ,
Couple of years ago we had some hella ocean crawling up the CHETCO POINT here in Brookings Oregon . I was the only dumb ass out there . I see toward the end of your vid that you are not the one out your way .
That must have been epic to experience! Quite a few people ventured out for this one, and luckily no one got hurt. The lighthouse did receive some damage.
@@MaineWoodsbooger I will say it was .....interesting . there is a foot bridge between the point and the mainland . By the time i snapped out of the trance those big beautiful waves put me in . I turned to get out of there but , the waves had swallowed the bridge up . Thankfully didn't take the bridge out . but kept it covered to the handrails for a few hours . Google Earth you can see for your self just how the foot bridge is in comparrison . Well if youv'e the mind to any way .
Sure plenty enough live adventure . I was out there last night to . Pretty wild seas .
Wow. I have been to Maine. I would be viewing that inside a car drinking hot apple cider or in a tent bundled up or someplace inside. You would need to wear good rain gear or you will end up sick with a mean cold for at least a few days.
Yessah!
grew up just a mile from there, that side is always worse
I have visited Portland Head Light a couple of time cmig from Italy both time in the month of October, but these waves are terrible
Dude, be more careful next time! You don't wanna win a Darwin award.
Agreed! That's why I left. Although it was worth it. :)
Good way to get killed by being sucked back in with backwash or by a flying rock the size of a basketball!!!! is cool to see the absolute power of Mumma Nature though!!!!
100% correct! What you don't see is that I was protected by a brick building. After that wave, I got the heck out of there. Mother Nature is incredibly powerful!
The waves will just get bigger, the wind more intense, hold onto your socks..
@I came fromItalu
Super nice footage 👌 👍 mother nature has a mind of her own!!
Thanks for sharing Good Stuff Mainer 👍 the Vermonter BS
Thanks so much sir, and yes she does!
