I live near Noyo Harbor, CA. The locals will flock to the elevated ocean overlooks whenever 20 - 30 foot swells hit the coast. The waves can double in height when they cross the reef so you need to be up well above that. Fortunately it usually happens when there are few visitors to our area. Still there are too many people drown from being swept off the beaches when the big waves crash in.

Waves were so big they came all the way up coving whole beach crashing into and over the two big walls stacked like steps and over into the parking lot. My mum almost lost me that day when she spotted me by the edge of the top wall by the railing standing on a upside down frisbee waiting for the waves to come so I could catch a ride but she ran over and scooped me up in time. I lost the frisbee that day but yea.. good times. There was even a surfer out in those waves that looked about that size lol if anyone knows portreath beach close to or in Redruth /Penzance leave a comment. It would be nice hearing from someone from my hometown area. Maybe even my friend Leon Watson Sheppard . Miss him and everyone over there. This also happened about 24-26 years ago. Im 31 now

Filmmakers have been pulling the very-long-lens plus foreground-shot-at-distance trick on waves since at least Flaherty's 'Man of Aran' in the early 1930s. Not to say these aren't big waves, just that very specific camerawork is being used to hugely exaggerate their appearance. Pity to see the BBC presenting it without context.

It’s really well protected shoreline, there is a reef off the cape that creates these huge waves. Also it’s one of the best sunsets in the world.
A telephoto lens was used which gives the impression that they are closer to the wave and makes the wave look bigger. Photographers will usually will pick up on that very quickly.
They are 50 foot above the water
These are the waves I see in my worst nightmares 😱😱😱 how are those people standing there, I would be out of there so fast.
SAME! Just watching this makes my heart race. 😮
It may look like one big wall of a wave, but those are multiple, smaller waves behind each other. Camerahuman is just at a very good spot and filming from a good angle.
seriously, don't they know that the riptide could drag that rock wall out in a heartbeat?
That's what they used when making the movie, "The Poseidon Adventure".
Right? Right??!!! Why aren’t they running and screaming?
Imagine all the fish in there going "Whoooaaahhhh shiiiiiiiiiit...." as the waves crash down. There has to be daredevil fish who like riding the waves like people enjoy roller coasters 😂
Not fish but dolphins and seals love playing in waves like this. I wonder if this is where surfers got the idea.
😂
Fish are the sensible type and find a nice sheltered spot in storms. Unlike humens
Haha I love this like there has to be some cool fish like that everyone loves a little fun 🤩

It's just the lens and and distance that makes these look bigger than they are. Trust me, I live in Cornwall and have worked on Fistral Beach for over 25 years. These are 20 foot waves in reality, no bigger. We get them in winter on Fistral. They still look impressive though and are big.
Thanks for clearing that... I also felt the same... It looked just too huge to be true.
Camera angle and slow mow can make a pebble splash in a pond look like armagedon
Taken from up the top with a telephoto lens. The spectators are well above the waves. I live here
@@sea-pinl do also, watching the Cribba just around the headland off little fistral is the biggest wave l know locally, that gets huge and surfed, but looking down on it from the hut on the headland really adds to it's size, with the righ lenses on a camera especially. Go and have a look off the cliffs at St Nazaire in Portugal and even with no lenses it looks horrifyingly huge. Over 100ft with the right conditions.🙂🙂
this does make you feel truly terrified for their safety if you aren't in the know 😂
Do you even know what a rogue wave is
@@tmayorca8770someone's literally just explained what's happening in the video and you're talking about rogue waves?!

That monster is more horrifying than anything else. Those people are too close to that thing.
The sound also they make is damn scary
One chance for a aws8me surf 😮😅
The videographer makes the waves look bigger without adding context. There's very little comparison to the surrounding environment. What's on the vid is just a detail, and the movement is at about .25% speed.
Same techniques used for covid to say look at all these folk flouting the rules lol
These are very large waves but not nearly as large as the camera angle makes them out to me. They would be normal storm size waves for any ship out in the atlantic. The difference is that out at sea they don't crest and curl over the top.
Not angle, telephoto zoom and large DoF. Angle just get's the waves in frame, that other stuff is what makes them look huge.
Amazingly beautiful and terrifying all at the same time I definitely wouldn't be standing so close to the shore
An awesome terror
They’re higher up than it looks
They're quite far away from the water. 😉🙂

We have the same problem here at Cape Spear in Newfoundland Canada. The combination of huge waves and high winds is very attractive to sightseers, who are occasionally blown into the ocean and lost.
The combination of slow mo and telephoto zoom is very attractive to filmmakers. ;P

Don't. Nature doesn't deserve worship. In fact, you are nature too, everything is really, but you have to realize that the very basis of life is built on greed, taking from other so you may spread your genes further than the others, war, battle, predation, everything's tied to greed. There's two choices you can make now, either accept that greed is a natural and moral thing, or accept that nature is evil, your choice.

I live near Noyo Harbor, CA. The locals will flock to the elevated ocean overlooks whenever 20 - 30 foot swells hit the coast. The waves can double in height when they cross the reef so you need to be up well above that. Fortunately it usually happens when there are few visitors to our area. Still there are too many people drown from being swept off the beaches when the big waves crash in.

It would be nice to see what's happening at normal speed instead of slow motion. The slo-mo makes it look like the waves are more massive than they really are.
I would be running to get away. Those waves were the biggest waves I have ever seen. 😊❤
Actually they are not. It is an illusion created by camera position, lens and slowing the video down to reinforce the IDEA of huge waves taking a lot of time to crest. Look at the bushes....watch their motion. They are in super slow motion...you now how quickly shrubs get knocked around in heavy winds. This content video was heavily setup.
Perspective is everything
Yes. Things are not always as they appear. Especially on the internet!
Props to the camera man. There's no denying this is a great shot, deceptive as it may be.
Yes there's no doubt they are whoppers, but if you fix your eyes on the horizon, they're just bad-weather big.
It was also in slow motion, increasing the effect
Not them just casually standing there, bro I would be running😂
Didn’t think we had waves that big over here 👍🏻
That is magnificent.
Water is nature's strongest element. Very impressive photography! 🌊
Love the way the water moves to make a wave
Can you imagine old ships and Vikings? No wonder few people crossed the Atlantic.Thats immense power.
Along with the effect of the zoom lens, the video is slowed down considerably, giving it a very dramatic effect.
Really? Wow! 🤣
I said the same! its like when you see a photo of a huge Moon in the sky. Long lens is key
No doubt they're big waves but the way this is shot and edited is deliberate to make us think they're far larger. It's the BBC. A news article that says "Waves Spotted In The Ocean" would hardly get any clicks.

It reminds me back in the day in Cornwall in portreath beach ( I believe you spell it like that or at least pronounce it like that) . Waves were so big they came all the way up coving whole beach crashing into and over the two big walls stacked like steps and over into the parking lot. My mum almost lost me that day when she spotted me by the edge of the top wall by the railing standing on a upside down frisbee waiting for the waves to come so I could catch a ride but she ran over and scooped me up in time. I lost the frisbee that day but yea.. good times. There was even a surfer out in those waves that looked about that size lol if anyone knows portreath beach close to or in Redruth /Penzance leave a comment.
