    I am 56 and have seen so many waves live, seen pictures of waves, watched videos of waves, but THIS.....this is the most dramatic video I have ever seen! Just the magnitude and size of the waves and then the clarity of the video and having objects to provide perspective. It is just a wonderful video.
    THANK YOU for knowing how to video tape, and not jiggling around or missing the best parts of the display. Thanks for sharing, you have my vote for the best wave video!

    Imagine a 14th to 20th century ship being obliterated against those cliffs in storm seas like this ... This cape is the southwestern most point in Portugal and next to a huge shipping lane. Now the Cabo São Vicente lighthouse is the second (?) most powerful in the world. It can be seen 60 kilometers away. Many centuries of history here. Aweinspiring video = )

    One of the places I love most here in Portugal . Sagres is where the land ends and begins the endless sea . I still have this medieval Portuguese feeling on this place.

    • @aahpoiseeh
      @aahpoiseeh 7 лет назад +5

      "Where the land ends and the sea begins" is not related to Sagres, but to Cabo da Roca (which belongs to Sintra and Lisbon). Cabo da Roca is the most western spot in Europe, not Cabo S. Vicente.

      Those waves are so big they look like they are moving in slow motion, 80 foot plus here but about 200 feet of white water when they slam into the cliffs. Nazare, which is a popular HUGE wave surf spot in Portugal has had waves over 100 feet and has had the biggest wave ever rode that was ridden by American Garrett MaNamara estimated at 93 feet! I've ridden waves as big as 20 feet but 90 feet plus I could not imagine the power something like that can produce. 20 foot has enough power to rip and tear muscles, ligaments while also able to break collarbones, backs, necks, give you concussions or hold you down long enough to drown you.

    That near cliff has to be 100 meters high, and the waves are breaking way over the top of them. I saw waves almost as high when I was in Puerto Escondido, Mexico in 1985 due to s hurricane 300 miles due west in the Pacific Ocean. There were no cliffs for the waves to break over as spectacularly as these. Although it is dramatic to view on video, it is much more impressive to observe in person. You really begin to understand the power of Mother Nature from watching this spectacle. Surly the technology exists that could harnessed that power on most coasts around the world to provide power to thousands of Las Vegas size cities.

      These waves aren’t 100m tall there more like 50ft and also there’s only ever been a couple 100ft waves let alone 100m!and puerto Escondido can only get so big because once it gets 25ft it only goes 1ft higher and then that’s it

      those are in no way 100m tall lmfao. they’re not breaking over the cliffs either, they’re smashing into the lower part and it’s causing the water to rise up to the cliff top.

    The mythical Cabo de São Vicente.. Which was the last sight of Europe for Portuguese explorers who set out to find a nautical passage to the fabulous riches of the East. And they found it. They even were the first to navigate around the globe. The names of Diogo Cão, Vasco da Gama, Fernão de Magalhães entered the Valhalla of seafarers.
    The astronomical knowledge and nautical skills of the Portuguese was unsurpassed in these times. That is why they turned down the idea of a certain Cristoforo Colombo from Genua, who foolishly maintained that one can get to China sailing due West in just one month.
    They correctly estimated 3-4 months for such a journey, which made it seem practically impossible.
    I have rounded the Cabo in my sea kayak in tranquil weather, which nevertheless was awe inspiring. And I visualized that when things get really rough the foam from crashing waves might reach even halfway up the enormous cliffs.
    Never I imagined that these towering cliffs can be dwarfed by waves as captured in the video. They are colossal, gigantic, titanic.
    Thank you so much for sharing this magnificent sight !

    On the north coast of Barbados during a passing hurricane the waves hit the cliffs even bigger than this, the reef is a bit shallower so the waves barrel and you could fit a bus in the tube. when it hits the cliff the water reaches a couple hundred feet in land.

    Wow, remind me to never drop anchor off those cliffs. Amazing footage.

    I could watch the sea for hours, it's fascinating. Even here in the UK where we have much calmer seas, I love to watch it.

    That is perfect normal in Portugal, that´s why some of our beach´s are moving to places that never had a beach. For instances, some years ago (20-30) Costa da Caparica had big, very big beach´s in low tide(big extension of sand to reach the sea), and Fonte da Telha had small beach, even in low tide. Now, it´s the opposite!

    There's a famous Portuguese poem that starts with these words: "Ó mar salgado, quanto do teu sal
    são lágrimas de Portugal!" (Translation: "Oh salty sea, how much of your salt are tears of Portugal!"). And i dare to say every portuguese knows these words.

    Ó mar salgado, quanto do teu sal
    São lágrimas de Portugal!
    Por te cruzarmos, quantas mães choraram,
    Quantos filhos em vão rezaram!
    Quantas noivas ficaram por casar
    Para que fosses nosso, ó mar!

    Valeu a pena? Tudo vale a pena
    Se a alma não é pequena.
    Quem quer passar além do Bojador
    Tem que passar além da dor.
    Deus ao mar o perigo e o abismo deu,
    Mas nele é que espelhou o céu.

    The reflected waves are travelling in the opposite direction (away from cliffs) to the oncoming waves.. The point at which the waves pass each other is a zone of constructive interference where the wave amplitude (height) equals the sum of the heights of the individual waves. Notice that after the waves have passed each other going in opposite directions, their heights drop again to what they previously were. Google 'constructive interference', or just 'wave interference'. This is high school physics.

    • @DoubleGauss
      @DoubleGauss 7 лет назад +1

      This is a simplified view of course. The actual zone of interference is complex consisting of many waves and wavlets bouncing off various surfaces and producing their own zones of interference. But the basic physics is still the same.
