The ocean is powerful and terrifying and people seem to forget that. Each of those waves probably had millions of gallons of water in them and the force behind them is staggering
If you take a 45 meter cross section of one of those waves, say the 25 meter one, that's probably a 45 by 25 by 10 meter block of water, which would weigh 11,250 metric tons. Those waves are probably going 15 meters per second, which gives the wave 1,265.29 megajoules of energy.
Shadow A water tower on average holds a million gallons. Those waves are much bigger than the bulb of a water tower so they probably have multiple millions of gallons of water in them
LOL you have never been caught in a "big" set out in the ocean even an 8 footer, let alone some of these monsters. Come to Santa Cruz, Steamers Lane one of the nicest waves on the planet..............on a good day and try your luck.
Michael Pfister I remember being at virginia beach when I was 10 and there was a hurricane 900 miles of the coast. My parents gave us boogie boards and said have fun. The swells were 8-11ft with warnings to stay out of the water. Somehow by the grace of god My brother, sister, and I were not hurt or dragged out to sea. At 17 I became a lifeguard and remember asking my mom what they were thinking for letting us in the water, her response.... we were stupid. Respect mother nature and never try your luck for fun when you can sit out and love another day.
there was one caused by a landslide or something like half the mountain broke off and when it crashed into the sea, it created a wave so big that took half of another mountain. And today you can see that half the mountain is a different color because the rest was taken up by the wave. I'm still trying to find the name of that incident but I forgot :-(.
@@jenjarrell9973 Bruh, 100 feet is small compared to what we know about. The Lituya Bay wave in 1958 was 1,720 feet high, it is dwarfed however by the wave caused by Chicxulub asteroid, it was nearly 1 mile high.
Imagine solo sailing the Pacific Ocean at night, hundreds of miles from land. You're on deck at night looking out at the stars when you notice that the stars on the horizon are beginning to disappear. You look up and see white water falling down about 70 feet up and you start hear a rushing sound. It's then that you realize a massive rogue wave is curling over your boat, shrouding everything in darkness.
@George W This happened in the 1580s though, during Spains golden era when it was indisputably the worlds most powerful nation. England only became the naval power it would be known as after the demise of the Spanish Armada. I disagree with the idea that Spain would simply take Englands place though, as both had similar levels of dominance at their height but England just had a much different method of colonization and managing its empire that allowed it to create highly developed and lucrative colonies while Spain mostly extracted resources and lightly settled its land and had many economic crises due to inflation from all the gold being imported.

Can you imagine being there near That wave in Portugal? Just the sound of it would be something freaky. Good clip n channel man, but you didnt mention that the nuclear testing on the Marshal Islands, was also to tee the effects of radiation in PEOPLE. The Americans did this to the native people on the most remote Islands in the world, so nobody would know. The government hushed it up and we only found out bout it decades later due to an independent media channel. Gave 90% of the people terminal cancers.
I looked up what 80 feet tall is just to get some reference for how big that first wave was and that’s about the average 7-8 story building, an airbus A380, 2 telephone poles stacked, or 11 Shaquille O’Neal’s standing on each other’s heads. That’s an absolute monster of a wave to surf, I could never imagine to even come close to a 10 foot wave, much less something more than 8 times my height. What a legend!
Usa mabaho I got laid the fuck out by a wave about 5 feet tall in somewhat rough conditions at chincoteague island a few years ago and that thing had some serious POWER! I could only imagine the outcome if you cocked up a ride on an 80 foot wave...
Deadboy you aren’t the only one. I was 15 when the movie first came out. I saw the preview of it on the channel 10 news and no joke I seriously thought it had really happened
@Skip ads when he said “Jaws” he was talking about the next wave. The transition we’ve been chatting about is the water transition that happens before that
0:30 - "It was declared the highest wave ever been surfed at a whopping 80 feet tall." 7:58 - "During a storm the waves reached 78 feet height which broke the record for the largest wave EVER detected on the ocean." Come again?
no the second one is the largest wave they had a solid measurement on. there have been 100 feet waves caught on camera, but there weren't any buoys to measure the exact height of those. In the first one 80 feet is probably an approximation.
Higher waves commonly break at shorelines but the 78 footer was in the middle of the ocean, "on the ocean", only powered by wind with no sea bed underneath to contribute to it's height.
A couple of years ago, I was on a small cruise ship that went up the Tarr Inlet in Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska, and those of us on the ship were able to see and experience a calving event at the Margerie Glacier that created swells that made the ship rock considerably. We were at a safe distance, of course, so there was no danger to anyone aboard, but it was one of the highlights of the vacation! It's truly amazing how much energy must have been released by that calving event to be able to achieve that.
And that is why you go headfirst into waves, then the boat takes less damage, water, force and sideways tipping, due to the length and bow of most boat designs.
when i was 15 me and my mate got wash by a massive wave all over rocks that went about 100meters out in the sea,from that day on i have been so scared of the ocean and its power. this video is so awesome and draw dropping as well, more scary than any horror film for me
For years I have had a recurring nightmare about standing in a lighthouse looking at a gigantic wave coming towards me. I never know the outcome as I always wake up (sweating) when this monster wave hits. No idea what it means or where the idea came from as I love the sea and the power it demonstrates.
Several years ago I was on a cross-Channel ferry (Calais to Dover) in a storm which sent waves right over the top of the ship. Everyone was falling about and so was anything that wasn't fastened down but I'd realised halfway across that things were going to get bad so I'd sat down against the wall in the centre of the passenger lounge and wedged myself into a corner. We made it safely into Dover harbour but several people had bad bruises and there was vomit all over the floor! Twenty one miles from France to southern England was bad enough but the North Sea is 360 miles across from the east coast of England and Scotland to Norway and Denmark . I haven't done THAT yet!
When you know that wave #1 was 80ft tall, and then think of the 100+ft tall tsunami waves of your tsunami list, it really makes you see just how destructive and HUGE those waves are!
And that's the deep state plan...go look off coasts of Cali and Gulf Coast...theres a low fog but they don't know why..helicopter pilot has eeery feeling..yup it's coming May
There is definitely nothing out there so probably this vid got one of the clips wrong, go check the co-ordinates out on google maps if you don't believe it.
sorry to burst your bubble, a lot of those photos weren't actually Cyclop's, which I agree with you is a very beautiful wave. Sadly the amount of effort that went into this video is quite low, most of those photos were from a break in Tasmania called Shipstern's Bluff
No 6 was a boat entering the Fukushima tsunami wave at the middle of the ocean. The wave was not created by the wind but displacement of water due to underwater landslide.
I'm not sure that picture is Cyclops. I have been to Tagon bay which is just down the coast from where I *_think_* Cyclops is (I don't know the exact location of Cyclops). It really is the ass-end of nowhere. The nearest town is probably Esperance which must be 70km or so away. Also, I'm fairly sure 14:19 is Ship Stern Bluff not Clops'.
@ 11:05 It looks pretty real, .. or not? I know the effect comes from the bomb but it’s on the outside still water?!. PS: humans could be so stupid! Hey!, let us blow up a few atomic bombs at some rare beautifully places on earth 🌏 👍🏼🤣☠️
Okay so I kinda agree with you, there are some reasons why it is real, and some reasons why this is fake. But first, let me clarify that on the thumbnail it's supposed to be a nuclear explosion. That's pretty obvious since you can see the hugeeee "ash cloud" coming. (This part may be true or fake, but this is what I found) As TransferAir said, this wave can totally be real, because a boat indeed was caught in the tests of Castle Bravo, in the series of Bikini Atoll (A series of tests between 1946 and 1958, the boat got caught in 1954 and fishermen got contaminated because of the radiations.). They all made it by the way, don't worry, but they were exposed to incredible doses of radiations. So the explosion itself was indeed real. BUT, there are a LOT of proofs that just show this is completely fake. This is pure logic and analyse, and I'll expose these in this comment : *First proof : The angle of the camera* As you can see on the thumbnail, the angle of the camera is extremely close to the water, and very far away from the ship (You can tell that because this ship literally has containers on it, which are incredibly huge, so you deduce this ship is huge, and you deduce it must be very far away to look "that small" on the thumbnail). Knowing that, the wave must be even further, but that's not what is interesting here. Know that, since this "photo" was taken apparently super close to the water, the boat the dude must've taken the picture on must be very small, or something like that. That's when is gets interesting : No one would ever, in their right mind (and if they had mental troubles they wouldn't drive a boat and/or take pictures lmao), would go in the high seas in such a small boat. Everyone that can drive, or possesses a boat would of course know how dangerous high seas is, and even if it looks "calm" on the thumbnail, no one could predict that, therefore everyone would prefer going to high sea with a way stronger and bigger boat, therefore being less close to the water. But the even more obvious point is that the "person that took this picture" is literally witnessing a huge wave coming towards a ship, and no one in their right mind would take a picture of that as well. You'd much rather run away, of course, which is why the angle of this photography is wayyyy too surrealistic. *Second proof : The image* Notice these beautiful colors? See that beautiful definition? Yea, of course we all do! Well we shouldn't. As I clarified at the beginning of this comment, this is supposed to be a nuclear test, and as I explained, it's supposed to have taken place in 1954, when definition was wayy lower than this, and colors had a tone which was a bit different. So again, obvious proof that this is fake. (If you want, you can just check the REAL video about Castle Bravo's test where you see the ship getting submerged by smoke, and you'll notice easily that the image overall appearence is way different) *Third proof : The wave* Yea, if anyone didn't notice there's that huge wave in top of the ash cloud. Two elements here show that this is totally fake : The height and the placement of the wave. First, the height. We can approximate it very roughly by using some simple logic, and just a bit of calculations. As I said earlier, that boat is already pretty far away from the camera, but it doesn't look even remotely close to being hit by the wave. Now, we can estimate that size of that ship by knowing that it carries containers. According to some websites, a container today is 8.5ft high. Now look at the height of the boat (Image in sources). You can clearly see it must be roughly the height of 2.5 containers, which would mean that boat is actually about 21ft high! That's pretty tall! But now, we can try and guess the perspective according to the cloud of ashes, a cloud that's supposed to be pretty tall. Now, know that Castle Bravo was a 15Mt nuclear bomb. After searching on energy conversions, I found out this is about 80 Petajoules, and after a LOT of research on volcanic explosive indice, comparisons on nuclear power, researchs on the ash clouds height, and deductions, I found out that this is the equivalent of a middle VEI 3 explosion. Now that we know that, know that VEI 3 explosions (Middle one) release ash clouds that are about 10km, or about 33000ft high. (By the way, since nuclear bombs detonate roughly 500ft before they hit the ground, we know that this isn't underwater, and then in that case we know that the mushroom cloud can't lose any height because of the water). This means that we have a boat that is 21ft high compared to a cloud that is roughly 33Kft high. Now according to the height on the boat we can try suppose that, according to the "apparent" distance between the boat and the cloud, we can see there's some distance between the cloud and the wave. Now with the thales theorem, knowing that the point A = the man that took the picture, admitting that we have 33000/x, and we have 1/1.5 with 1 being the height he took the picture at, and 1.5 the "height at the 10000 point", because he inclined his camera a bit, we have X = 50000 fucking ft tall. That's completely impossible of course which means one time more this is totally fake. Second, the placement of the wave. This will be much shorter, as these calculations kinda exhausted me, but I am pretty happy with the results I found, even if the method's not the best. But anyways, remember first that a tsunami is basically a huge amount of water moved by shockwaves. That's a really poor definition but that's the principle. Knowing this, we can imagine that a wave THIS high (even admitting my calculations are wrong, which is probably true, they are only estimations) when it only began to move is totally impossible. Acknowleding the fact that we suppose the bomb just landed here since we can see the boat still, there's no way this wave can already reach it's climax (notice the white trail on top of it) when it just "began". Plus the fact that a tsunami is supposed to be about 3-5ft tall when it's in the ocean, and this wave is enormous. And, to conclude, that wave looks way too weird, because it looks like it's right about to crush precisely on the boat. And that's a way too weird coincidence. May be possible, but very low chances. *Fourth proof : The sky* This is pretty simple, acknowledging that a nuclear bomb just exploded, there should be a huge mushroom cloud that should hide the sky, but there's literally nothing here. *Fifth proof : Black pixels* If you actually take the original image, you can notice some black pixels on top of the white trail of the wave. Completely impossible, which means this is fake again. So yea, loads of proofs, some may be fake but some are very true. That's all for me folks *Sources :* ORIGINAL VIDEO : ua-cam.com/video/gYbVQY0cBWk/v-deo.html BIKINI ATOLL AND CASTLE BRAVO : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daigo_Fukury%C5%AB_Maru (It's the ship that got caught) HEIGHT OF CONTAINER (Took the standard for most of the containers) : fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conteneur#Tailles_et_masses_actuelles (French version) BOAT IMAGE : i.ytimg.com/vi/iVM2dQ_7DyY/hq720.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEcCOgCEMoBSFXyq4qpAw4IARUAAIhCGAFwAcABBg==&rs=AOn4CLCDCFAq7y7vgqapba_-Ja2v8RyYfQ Energy conversion : fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordres_de_grandeur_d%27%C3%A9nergie
And guys imagine this. Back then there was NO planes, crossing these crazy waves were the only way to travel across the world. And considering the wooden ships they had back then...
The waves around Cape Point are really fun. There is a warm current from the east and cold current from the Antarctic and meet at the tip of the peninsula. The waters are nice and warm on the east side of the point and freezing cold on the west (ask about swimming at Hout Baai). Where they meet even on a calm day the swell can be quite large.
When Rodrigo surf the biggest wave that was measured at 80 feet of those actually measured from the back. When you measure from the front it is 160'. Just to clear things up.
Its crazy to think that the Vikings crossed the north sea on little wooden rowing boats.
but the waves are much smaller near Greenland..

TIGERZ bruh, it is probably more than 10k gallon. 10k gallon is a swimming pool

If you take a 45 meter cross section of one of those waves, say the 25 meter one, that's probably a 45 by 25 by 10 meter block of water, which would weigh 11,250 metric tons. Those waves are probably going 15 meters per second, which gives the wave 1,265.29 megajoules of energy.
Shadow A water tower on average holds a million gallons. Those waves are much bigger than the bulb of a water tower so they probably have multiple millions of gallons of water in them

You know for a list video this one is pretty good. Has good information delivered each time. No crazy countdown transitions, very educational.
I looked up what 80 feet tall is just to get some reference for how big that first wave was and that’s about the average 7-8 story building, an airbus A380, 2 telephone poles stacked, or 11 Shaquille O’Neal’s standing on each other’s heads. That’s an absolute monster of a wave to surf, I could never imagine to even come close to a 10 foot wave, much less something more than 8 times my height. What a legend!
8 times your height? You taller than shaq?
mans 10 feet tall
@@notapewdiepiebot3819 I mean he could be four feet tall and still technically be correct
Yes it's approximately 10ft per story
Usa mabaho I got laid the fuck out by a wave about 5 feet tall in somewhat rough conditions at chincoteague island a few years ago and that thing had some serious POWER! I could only imagine the outcome if you cocked up a ride on an 80 foot wave...

0:30 - "It was declared the highest wave ever been surfed at a whopping 80 feet tall."
7:58 - "During a storm the waves reached 78 feet height which broke the record for the largest wave EVER detected on the ocean."
Come again?
no the second one is the largest wave they had a solid measurement on. there have been 100 feet waves caught on camera, but there weren't any buoys to measure the exact height of those. In the first one 80 feet is probably an approximation.
Also one was surfed the other was estimated
The narrator was saying that 78’ was the record in the Southern Ocean, not worldwide.
Higher waves commonly break at shorelines but the 78 footer was in the middle of the ocean, "on the ocean", only powered by wind with no sea bed underneath to contribute to it's height.

A couple of years ago, I was on a small cruise ship that went up the Tarr Inlet in Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska, and those of us on the ship were able to see and experience a calving event at the Margerie Glacier that created swells that made the ship rock considerably. We were at a safe distance, of course, so there was no danger to anyone aboard, but it was one of the highlights of the vacation! It's truly amazing how much energy must have been released by that calving event to be able to achieve that.

Several years ago I was on a cross-Channel ferry (Calais to Dover) in a storm which sent waves right over the top of the ship. Everyone was falling about and so was anything that wasn't fastened down but I'd realised halfway across that things were going to get bad so I'd sat down against the wall in the centre of the passenger lounge and wedged myself into a corner. We made it safely into Dover harbour but several people had bad bruises and there was vomit all over the floor! Twenty one miles from France to southern England was bad enough but the North Sea is 360 miles across from the east coast of England and Scotland to Norway and Denmark . I haven't done THAT yet!

Thumbnail: *fake wave*
@ 11:05
It looks pretty real, .. or not?
I know the effect comes from the bomb but it’s on the outside still water?!.
PS: humans could be so stupid!
Hey!, let us blow up a few atomic bombs at some rare beautifully places on earth 🌏 👍🏼🤣☠️
@@TransferAir ye I guess so
Okay so I kinda agree with you, there are some reasons why it is real, and some reasons why this is fake.
But first, let me clarify that on the thumbnail it's supposed to be a nuclear explosion. That's pretty obvious since you can see the hugeeee "ash cloud" coming.
(This part may be true or fake, but this is what I found)
As TransferAir said, this wave can totally be real, because a boat indeed was caught in the tests of Castle Bravo, in the series of Bikini Atoll (A series of tests between 1946 and 1958, the boat got caught in 1954 and fishermen got contaminated because of the radiations.). They all made it by the way, don't worry, but they were exposed to incredible doses of radiations. So the explosion itself was indeed real.
BUT, there are a LOT of proofs that just show this is completely fake. This is pure logic and analyse, and I'll expose these in this comment :
*First proof : The angle of the camera*
As you can see on the thumbnail, the angle of the camera is extremely close to the water, and very far away from the ship (You can tell that because this ship literally has containers on it, which are incredibly huge, so you deduce this ship is huge, and you deduce it must be very far away to look "that small" on the thumbnail). Knowing that, the wave must be even further, but that's not what is interesting here. Know that, since this "photo" was taken apparently super close to the water, the boat the dude must've taken the picture on must be very small, or something like that.
That's when is gets interesting : No one would ever, in their right mind (and if they had mental troubles they wouldn't drive a boat and/or take pictures lmao), would go in the high seas in such a small boat. Everyone that can drive, or possesses a boat would of course know how dangerous high seas is, and even if it looks "calm" on the thumbnail, no one could predict that, therefore everyone would prefer going to high sea with a way stronger and bigger boat, therefore being less close to the water.
But the even more obvious point is that the "person that took this picture" is literally witnessing a huge wave coming towards a ship, and no one in their right mind would take a picture of that as well. You'd much rather run away, of course, which is why the angle of this photography is wayyyy too surrealistic.
*Second proof : The image*
Notice these beautiful colors? See that beautiful definition? Yea, of course we all do! Well we shouldn't. As I clarified at the beginning of this comment, this is supposed to be a nuclear test, and as I explained, it's supposed to have taken place in 1954, when definition was wayy lower than this, and colors had a tone which was a bit different. So again, obvious proof that this is fake. (If you want, you can just check the REAL video about Castle Bravo's test where you see the ship getting submerged by smoke, and you'll notice easily that the image overall appearence is way different)
*Third proof : The wave*
Yea, if anyone didn't notice there's that huge wave in top of the ash cloud. Two elements here show that this is totally fake : The height and the placement of the wave.
First, the height. We can approximate it very roughly by using some simple logic, and just a bit of calculations. As I said earlier, that boat is already pretty far away from the camera, but it doesn't look even remotely close to being hit by the wave. Now, we can estimate that size of that ship by knowing that it carries containers. According to some websites, a container today is 8.5ft high. Now look at the height of the boat (Image in sources). You can clearly see it must be roughly the height of 2.5 containers, which would mean that boat is actually about 21ft high! That's pretty tall!
But now, we can try and guess the perspective according to the cloud of ashes, a cloud that's supposed to be pretty tall. Now, know that Castle Bravo was a 15Mt nuclear bomb. After searching on energy conversions, I found out this is about 80 Petajoules, and after a LOT of research on volcanic explosive indice, comparisons on nuclear power, researchs on the ash clouds height, and deductions, I found out that this is the equivalent of a middle VEI 3 explosion. Now that we know that, know that VEI 3 explosions (Middle one) release ash clouds that are about 10km, or about 33000ft high. (By the way, since nuclear bombs detonate roughly 500ft before they hit the ground, we know that this isn't underwater, and then in that case we know that the mushroom cloud can't lose any height because of the water). This means that we have a boat that is 21ft high compared to a cloud that is roughly 33Kft high. Now according to the height on the boat we can try suppose that, according to the "apparent" distance between the boat and the cloud, we can see there's some distance between the cloud and the wave. Now with the thales theorem, knowing that the point A = the man that took the picture, admitting that we have 33000/x, and we have 1/1.5 with 1 being the height he took the picture at, and 1.5 the "height at the 10000 point", because he inclined his camera a bit, we have X = 50000 fucking ft tall. That's completely impossible of course which means one time more this is totally fake.
Second, the placement of the wave. This will be much shorter, as these calculations kinda exhausted me, but I am pretty happy with the results I found, even if the method's not the best. But anyways, remember first that a tsunami is basically a huge amount of water moved by shockwaves. That's a really poor definition but that's the principle. Knowing this, we can imagine that a wave THIS high (even admitting my calculations are wrong, which is probably true, they are only estimations) when it only began to move is totally impossible. Acknowleding the fact that we suppose the bomb just landed here since we can see the boat still, there's no way this wave can already reach it's climax (notice the white trail on top of it) when it just "began". Plus the fact that a tsunami is supposed to be about 3-5ft tall when it's in the ocean, and this wave is enormous. And, to conclude, that wave looks way too weird, because it looks like it's right about to crush precisely on the boat. And that's a way too weird coincidence. May be possible, but very low chances.
*Fourth proof : The sky*
This is pretty simple, acknowledging that a nuclear bomb just exploded, there should be a huge mushroom cloud that should hide the sky, but there's literally nothing here.
*Fifth proof : Black pixels*
If you actually take the original image, you can notice some black pixels on top of the white trail of the wave. Completely impossible, which means this is fake again.
So yea, loads of proofs, some may be fake but some are very true. That's all for me folks

The waves around Cape Point are really fun. There is a warm current from the east and cold current from the Antarctic and meet at the tip of the peninsula. The waters are nice and warm on the east side of the point and freezing cold on the west (ask about swimming at Hout Baai). Where they meet even on a calm day the swell can be quite large.
