High Spring Tide 10.1m Hits Ilfracombe Sea Front

High Spring Tide water levels at 10.1 metres with large swell running which is enough to push waves over the sea wall, at the near end the wall is low allowing the floodwater to re-enter the sea, water will also dangerously surge over.
In the Harbour area the water is high enough to cover the Quayside in & around high tide.

It's a shame no-one thought to move the bins!

[@Robert-ts2ef]

Knowing the storm and high tides were coming, why didn’t the council arrange to move those bins before all the contents are strewn all over the place? Typical council

[@janetseward1588]

Bins are halfway to America now!!

[@davekennedy6315]

Good job there werent the usual cars parked in that little car park there!

Dude so awesome you are getting millions of views on the aug 2023 video. Great filming.

[@cheezy1969]

Never turn your back on the sea, I pray you are wearing a life jacket. Just love the sounds of the waves crashing 🌊🌊🌊

[@SilverMist0121]

Yeah the bins should've been moved if they know they are getting high tides instead of all the plastic and shit going back into the sea

[@TwmUkLive]

Not surprised there's so much crap & plastic in our oceans , whoever thought it would be the best idea to place these bins next to the rising sea levels over at Ilfracombe council isn't very bright

The bins look happy

[@seanrobinson2557]

Why didn’t you pull the bins back, and prevent all that litter entering the sea?!?!?!

[@kevinashcroft2028]

Where have you bin ?

[@C0radrew]

knowing a high tide was coming why didn't someone move the bins beforehand.

[@davekennedy6315]

Now THAT is some VERY scary, angry looking seas! My idea of Hell would be on a boat (literally any kind?) in rough seas like this. I LOVE the sea but am also terrified by it at the same time.

[@EnglishMadeleine]

I think it would have been a bit more helpful if you’d moved those bins right at the beginning - or were you enjoying the dramatic effects? 😢

[@Omurodashii]

sick!!

[@chris747f]

Where about in ilfracombe is this I live in ilfracombe can’t work out where it is recognise the hill in background just can’t work out where stood? First part I mean

[@elisabethj.v.beardsell9853]

Water can be your friend or foe😮

[@audreymcleod6262]

That’s the first thing I thought. When I saw the sea and the bins they will be floating out to sea shortly. Could bedsngetousvand no body thought about shifting. Them 😠😠😠😠😠😠

[@chrisbates8819]
