Didn't you know Steve, the work on the Metropol, is 5* upgrades for our unwanted guests. Got to keep them happy whilst our own have to find shelter in doorways now. Great video as always Ste, very informative buddy, great for your younger audience, whom actually might learn something ❤
Stephen I'm an old sandgrown'un. Remember that the very high tides always used to put through the windows of a shop on the other side of the prom. It was a posh dress shop called Diana Warren.
One time my son & me came Blackpool, the tide was out quite far, we stopped on the North Pier & watched it come in so fast my son was surprised cos he wanted to go on beach while it was out.
Hello Stephen No apologies were needed, I thought your explanation was clear and understandable enough for the average layman to understand. Look forward to your videos take care Mike
Elliptical orbits explain the movements. A diagram is worth a lot of words but you are all spot on. A time table is essential for sailors as is the rule of twelfths. I recall that from my sailing exams. I suppose it is all online now. Never sailed round Blackpool though, looks a bit rough. Thanks all good.
Well explained in as simple way as possible to people like me ! When I went to Southport the tide went out miles.You could hardly see the sea, Excellent vid. as always. Thanks.
I thought this was one of your Starman videos rather than AWOTWS videos however I do often wonder about the moon and the tides especially living here on the Norfolk coast. Very high tide there in Blackpool.
Hi Stephen I was visiting Glasson Dock on Monday and the sea water there was flooding the main road, and in the dock itself it was maybe eight to ten inches from the top of the dock. I've never seen so much water in there! No big waves like Blackpool though!
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool If you ever venture into Europe for a video, consider St Malo in France. Great ferry from Portsmouth and also a short ferry from Jersey (you could even go to Mt St Michel which is not far). But the most epic tides and I mean epic!!! Hotels right on the edge. A spring tide there would be amazing
I was watching a video of the Pleasure Beach 1989 when the tide was so high it literally flooded half the Pleasure Beach and the full length of the prom who remembers that those lives in Blackpool
Thanks for a great vlog, walk on the Wild side meets Starman 😊,great to see the high tide,those waves were a sight to see,your knowledge is amazing Stephen,keep up the good work, you take care. Bye for now 😊
Monday would have been very unsuitable for sailing. with it's choppy seas nature is so fascinating It's quite unbelievable how extremely powerful the moon really is 😮 and how it influences every tide everyday in 🌙🌎
Hi mate another interesting varied upload keep it up . Also was gutted after hearing the Passing of my Fav DJ Steve Wright , took me back to first week in August 1982 Radio 1 Roadshow with Steve Wright next to the old Butlins Hotel / Metropole me and my younger brother down for the Week I was 19 my brother 15 I’m 61 now. Keep up the great work. Malcolm Kerr Beith North Ayrshire Scotland .
Great video! The tidal bulge is kind of fixed in alignment with the moon.But as you say, there is a lag. The Earth rotates below that bulge and the continents smash into the bulge causing drag. The Iriish sea experiences some of the greatest tidal ranges in the world. The Irish sea filling and emptying twice a day is resposible for more than its fair share of drag on Earths rotation. Some of the drag is also geological. Whatever the cause, the tidal interaction of the Earth/Moon system causes two things to happen. Earth's rotation gradually slows so days get longer and the Moon absorbes that energy as orbital energy, a kind of sling shot, and slowly moves further away from Earth. Some day it will be too far away for there to be any more total solar eclipses. The moon will always be too small, apparently, to fully cover thd Sun
Hi Stephen, I remember before they did the new seawall & headlands, the beach was much bigger then & the sea didn't come all the way in to the basalt wall at low tide. The ice cream men must have studied the tides each day, so they knew whether to park their vans on the beach or not. A simple mistake with the tides information could have left their vans submerged.
So informative, I'm really enjoying catching up having been in hospital for 2 weeks as an emergency. Feel like I've been plucked out of life it's weird xx
And to think that on the north and central piers there used to be additional jetties about 300 feet long.Also in the columns of the piers are concrete poured even by the victorian age and they go all the way to bedrock beneath.The victorians were clever buggars.
I always knew the moon controlled the tide although the documentary that was shown on Tv years ago did state the various brands of cheese the moon was made from when a old guy built a rocket and took his dog it was really good
Have you ever seen the tidal bore in Bristol ? That would make a great video if you haven’t. One day i woukd love to see it myself but it doesn’t like to coincide with the school holidays 😂
It's all to do with the temp of the earth ,in winter the earth gets colder and that's why the sea changes ,in summer things are much calmer when the sun is shining ,yes the moon does have something to do with the tides ,but the most important factor is the temp of the earth ,When I was an apprentice nuclear scientist ,I was involved in monitoring high and low tides , The reason there's no water on the sun is because it's too hot ,
Very interesting video Steve, thank you. I am very disappointed with myself for not getting down to see the high tide on Monday, the tide chart I use said it was going to be 10m, but I am very much a novice when it comes to tides. On Tuesday the chart said the tied was going to be 9.9m so I went down. The tide was very high and the sea wall was well covered with water, but because there was no wind, there was no waves except the ones at the Spanish Steps. A great big tree almost made it onto the sea wall at St Chad's but didn't quite make it, It drifted back out to sea. I didn't see any over topping like I have done on other occasions.
There are so many tide charts I don't know which is the best one but I picked one aimed at fishing hoping it's a good one to go by. They get flood alerts at Cleveleys when the tide is very high. Cleveleys and St Anne's are two places I must go at high tide, and Gynn Square for a good bit of wave watching :)
Was in Blackpool recently they made a half way house shelter right near the sea and everything around it looked like it was suffering there was a lass just casually smoking a crack pipe. Yep I was gobsmacked welcome to Blackpool 😂
Great video Stephen, cpl things Tim says Thank you for explaining that so easily with the waves as he has always wondered how that worked, also cpl of videos ago you mentioned about RUclips restricting your video, they have done this a few times to ours and I've asked for a review as I knew it was something over nothing, and each time they have lifted the restructions, so I hope you have been doing the same. 👍
Good morning i have only just watched this vid .well i watch on TV then write a few comments on my phone that was really good explained about the high tide but it was a good rough sea thankyou
When we were Children, probably 70 years ago, they always showed posters of groups of people all linking arms on The prom on Blackpool. My mother told me is to stop them being blown away
I used to put nightlines out up around Bispham and further North, and carry my fish home on my Bicycle in the morning. Cod around the New Year can be massive. At this time of the year tides would move the lines a lot, or they'd be ripped up, never to be seen again, no matter how deep I'd buried my anchors.32ft is 9.75 metres by the way which brings it to the top of the steps in the roll back section of the wall at North Shore, making the narrow flat bit before the roll top a dangerous place to be for a game of dare, dashing between gateways during your School dinnertime break..

Stephen when I heard the siren I thought it's kicking off in Blackpool 👍😁😎, even the Waves are kicking off!. Lol 😁

They generally upgrade when they’ve gone as part of the deal like a carrot for taking them in

Many people have been caught out by that - and there are quicksand patches, too!
Very interesting about the high tide . Something different 👍🏻😀☀️. Thanks for showing Stephen 👍🏻
Explained it well stephen, its very interesting the tides with moon ..i live off northumberland coast ..cant beat the sea air to clear the head
Hello Stephen

I like the high tides there. You get some massive waves.
It was crazy. I got a tram from work on Monday after my shift at the grosvenor and everyone was talking about the high tide. Good video as usual. X

Hi 👋 Stephen can't wait for the summer I have had enough of this weather wow very dangerous take care of yourself Stephen 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's a long time coming Susan, and remember don't blink because you might just miss it. 😁
Excellent tidal explanation Steve, thanks. Where were all the Beer Monsters in that shelter?
They're actually a really good place to people watch and soak up the atmosphere. We'll be there again next week!
Lovely place to sit when the beer monsters are not around 😊
Love this! learning a little about the tides
"That's a little bit difficult to explain" .... Stephen. A walk on the wild side. 🌞🌚🌊🌊

Hello again Stephen
I think that Blackpool council should employ you full time as there resort ambassador
you are one of my top 10 subscriptions . I remember when I was young living at rossall school at mitre floor de lea
I was watching a video of the Pleasure Beach 1989 when the tide was so high it literally flooded half the Pleasure Beach and the full length of the prom who remembers that those lives in Blackpool
The Pleasure Beach used to be on the beach!!!
Very informative video Stephen thanks for that you described it as best anyone could. Thanks again
Thanks Diane.

Fantastic video Steve
I’ve never seen the sea that high up the pier
Your a knowledgeable chap
Thanks for sharing it with us 🍺
Thanks Michael 👍

True. I won't be around to see that tho.
Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always wow them waves are crazy look epic though thank you for showing us have a great evening xx
Hi Stephen. These waves also are the effect of the Iceland volcano aswell as the sun and moon gravitate. Stay safe. Keep warm 😊
Neat video - thank you. Been to Blackpool a couple of times in my life and never seen such a high tide. Amazing. Greetings from Canada..
Glad you enjoyed it
I must admit coastal storm chasing is some of my favourite things to watch. Great footage Stephen, thankyouuuu for the video 😊
Mine too!
Coming to Blackpool Sunday Stephen hopefully will see u around on your travels
Good watch Stephen Interesting about the tides
Them waves are pretty crazy 😮 hope we didn’t lose any beer monsters 😂😂
Great video 👍
Beer Monsters are scarier than the tides! 🍺🍺🍺
Thanks for the educational video Stephen. Got a good bit about the tides and changing or so I thought but got confused towards the end.😊😊😊

Thanks again for another great informative vlog Stephen
No Probs George.
Love it Stephen.....Hope you're well.
Another great vlog cold you do a vlog on the refurbishment of coral Island restaurant please
Interesting video as always Thankyou.
What’s that trying to educate me! Forget it mate! 😂great video Stephen
Went to Southport on Monday never seen the tide so high going over the pier people just stood looking mesmerised
Thanks Stephen I knew most of what you shared. You explained it really well. Be confident yea. Keep up the great work .
Thanks Kevin 👍
Used to live in Bispham, So many memories, Thank you
So informative, I'm really enjoying catching up having been in hospital for 2 weeks as an emergency. Feel like I've been plucked out of life it's weird xx

another interesting video Stephen and very interesting information about the moon and tides. 😊
Magic as always Stephen ❤
Wowsers 😂😂 thats awesome to see it’s really thrashin about 😊 till the next one 😊
It’s all kicking off in Blackpool. Perfectly explained and unscripted genius ❤❤❤
I always knew the moon controlled the tide although the documentary that was shown on Tv years ago did state the various brands of cheese the moon was made from when a old guy built a rocket and took his dog it was really good
Wish I was there ! Thank you for the educational video.😊
Awesome video fascinating about the tides and moon keep them coming 😊
Thank you! Will do!
Good vlog Stephen I seen a post on Facebook the other day at St Ives in Cornwall they had the hide tide it hadn't half came in 🙂
I was in Scarborough last month and it had similar, waves were coming across the road, dumping twigs and moss right outside the amusement arcades.
I was surprised at how high the tide came up at Scarborough.
Hi Stephen enjoyed your vid, for most people who are not scientists that was a good explanation,
.
Glad you enjoyed it Gerald
Have you ever seen the tidal bore in Bristol ? That would make a great video if you haven’t. One day i woukd love to see it myself but it doesn’t like to coincide with the school holidays 😂
The Severn bore is quite unique. The 2nd extreme tidal range to the Bay of Fundy.
Another great video Stephen thankyou we had thunder and lightning in Glasgow last night about 8 o,clock 😊

Great informative video Stephen ….cant wait for summer to get out on my e bike….i see you on the prom all the time….ill have to say Hi !!
thanks Stephen for another great video
lovely out there today, thanks, i was wondering about tides and why they do what they do!
Very good and educational.
That was well explained, Stephen⭐️
Thanks Sheila.
Wow Sea looks amazing,but be careful,love your videos Stephen xxx
Those starlings better watch out if they still roost under the Pier!!!! 👍🏴
Fantastic vid Stephen, Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks again, really interesting

I think it was a bit higher up at Cleveleys. Not sure how they measure tides, but I guess they take averages from different point.
There are so many tide charts I don't know which is the best one but I picked one aimed at fishing hoping it's a good one to go by.
They get flood alerts at Cleveleys when the tide is very high. Cleveleys and St Anne's are two places I must go at high tide, and Gynn Square for a good bit of wave watching :)
Very interesting information high and low tide.
Great video again Stephen. Loving the moon and tides explanation. Have you done a video at Stonehenge? Thats a must see.
Bloody hell yeah is a bit rough to day you go Steve 😊😊😊😊😊
Explained like a modern day Sir Patrick Moore 😁 im at the Viking this sunday for five nights so im hoping to see some of those high tides ❤
Basically the Moon is kicking off in Blackpool!
Great video stephen 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it Andy
During Roman times the coastline was about a mile further out than it is today.
Enjoyed your video on the high tide Stephen you explained it expertly hope you’re new camera was okay 👍
Thanks Robert 👍
Was in Blackpool recently they made a half way house shelter right near the sea and everything around it looked like it was suffering there was a lass just casually smoking a crack pipe. Yep I was gobsmacked welcome to Blackpool 😂
I really enjoyed that mate I found it very interesting hope your well Stephen take it easy pal 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks fantastic and wild
Hi good video very enjoyable ❤

Thanks Barbara.
On our way up to the Lakes we stopped off at Blackpool on Monday, 12th Feb, the tide was in and the waves were really high. Sea looked very angry. ❤
Very interesting Stephen. What camera are you using ? It looks like you're maybe using a polariser the clouds look great. :)
No filters, thanks.
so if a big storm would it blackpool on the day where the high tide as high it is now would that be the end of blackpool
If we had a storm at the same time it might be catastrophic.
better get ur skis on steven
When we were Children, probably 70 years ago, they always showed posters of groups of people all linking arms on The prom on Blackpool. My mother told me is to stop them being blown away
Cracking vlog..Mr x
Fantastic love this
The power of the sea!
Yes indeed!
Very interesting I always thought high tide was to do with windy weather and speed of wind
Nothing to do with wind, though a westerly gale or stronger wind can whip up the waves, making them come over the promenade.
It looks like the north sea is kicking off,l bet the north pier got battered, educational vlog well explained 👍
Stay safe the tied is high and am rolling on 😅 thanks for the info too
That’s what Debbie Harry said.
Great video Stephen, you look like a beer monster lol.
Proud to look like a beer monster.
Smarty pants here knew it was the moon 😂 I didn't know the position of the moon made a difference though. I'm not really that smart.
Interesting video never seen the tide that high. I didn't realise it was to do with the Sun as well as the moon.
The English Channel could do with a few more high tides Ste. The only gravitational pull we need, is that of back towards Viva La France 😂
I remember a 32ft spring tide before metres arrived. ;-)
I'll have to do the conversion to metric.
