Storm Surge, Seaham, County Durham

HD Video of giant waves on the seafront at Seaham, County Durham A strong tidal surge in the North Sea resulted in a higher than normal high tides. A combination of strong winds, extremely low pressure and a storm surge can raise the sea level around eastern England by an additional 2 meters. Filmed 9 November 2007

I would sit at my bedroom window for hours In the 1960's (Noahs Ark Pub) watching the waves crash over the pier.

The slow speed shows the real power of the sea -a force not to be taken lightly. well done

This reminds me of growing up! My aunt lived overlooking the docks and we used to love watching the sea when it was rough!

I have never seen the sea like that in Seaham, but the film was spectacular. The last time I was in Seaham I bought live crabs on the harbour. Lovely work.
