There's a book called Heavy Weather Sailing. In it he describes waves apparently up to 180ft and there were big waves on the waves. He said they were like mountains. He said it's hard for most to understand how a small craft could survive such monstrous and horrendous conditions, but that experience and skill can put your odds in your favour.

@@metalmicky there was a clip of Jennifer Garner on Conan O'Brien's late night talk show, old news, but it's been recirculating... Jennifer Garner said something about "sneaked into the room..." Conan says "snuck into the room." She interrupted herself saying "sneaked into the room. Snuck isn't a word, Conan. You went to Harvard and you should know that." Long story short, he was handed a dictionary, looked through it and what do you know? Snuck is indeed a word.... My point is, don't correct me thinking I'm wrong when I'm not. You're not wrong either. Both spellings are acceptable and still mean the same thing. You can Google if you want. I'm not ashamed to admit that I double checked. I fact check myself far more often than I fact check others and I actually appreciate when someone clears up any confusion and I learn something new in the process. "You learn something new everyday and if you don't, you weren't paying attention." Yay for learning something new! Happy to help (it reads rude, but I genuinely not my intention)

@sea-pin it was a storm with 96 mph gusts in a place which gets decent sized waves anyway off the Atlantic. Also without a telephoto lens from this far away you wouldn’t see the waves at all. At Nazare they also use telephoto lenses

[@bobwoods1302]

Those are not 15 foot waves.@sea-pin

[@hughdismuke4703]

Most likely. They also slowed down the video to make it look bigger and scarier than it is.

[@OrganMusicYT]

@sea-pin 25ft waves in the North Atlantic coming into the west coast of the UK and Ireland are not unusual at all. 40 and 50ft waves are seen during most winters. Look along the west coast of them on satellite images and maps and you'll see how rugged it is due to thousands of years of being pummelled by the north atlantic.

[@isaurodominguez6055]

Deadly and beautiful at the same time

[@mikeef747]

Looks insane, but the angle makes it appear like it's a tidal wave that is going to wipe out everything, but it's really the horizon and the curvature of the earth that makes the wave appear much higher than sea level than it really is!

Fairly normal storm waves for this area. 20ft plus isn't unusual, I'd estimate these at 25-26ft based on the 20ft waves I went to see from this same car park location in March during Storm Nelson. A bit further South at Sennen Cove, they're even more spectacular as the car park is much closer to sea level and there is a huge rock just off the RNLI ramp that breaks the waves as they come into the cove.
