You can get the tail end of hurricanes here the are classed as tropical storms...... And before you go on about it being impossible do to cold sea the storm system brings the heat with us ..... As this weekend Scotland will be getting the tail end of hurricane katia downgraded to tropical storm
@TehOwchies I f you'd paid attention, you'd have seen this was "the tail end of Hurricane Gordon" which, according to the Met office and media reports, it was. This means that the weather system was a full hurricane where it formed far west in the Atlantic, but then petered out as it travelled east towards old Blighty. All the news reports at the time built our expectations, which is why I say at the end (6m 06s) that it was an anti-climax.
@MadamMiaow Don't patronise me, I do understand your description!!!
I'm not an idiot. I was responding to other ignorant people who have posted here proclaiming that this was a hurricane. People like SavageGreenMachine for example.
@TehOwchies Actually you do. They're just very rare, the same with tornadoes and big earthquakes. For the hurricane to happen, the tropical air is pushed over from the west, it is near to impossible for one to form over the UK, but the hurricane can make it's way towards it.

@TehOwchies Epic fail for you, hurricane katia is on its way to the uk monday, it doesnt matter they cant be formed here, but they form , then come over . I'm in a part of the uk where winds expected to be up to 80mph. So looing forward to this no hurricane in uk theory.
lol ni live in cornwall n i rember this well i went surfing n that looks tiny compared wid conny etc next time u rite somehing make sure ur correct as thats just embarrasing for cornwall
WOOOOW, that's amazing!! I love big waves... wonderful video, if it wasn't for the music... personally I found it a bit stressing... what about "Storms in Africa", by Enya...?
Lol I have seen Porthmeor with bigger swell than that in the past. never mind the numerous other beaches that get bigger than that most of the winter. Why even try to claim it's some of the biggest waves in Cornwall just embarrassing...
man, i was living in devon (on the south coast) in a carvan when that hurricane hit, it was fucking crazy! it lasted about 3 nights, and on the first day when it was a little calmer, i went down to the beach (lyme) and the first thing i saw was a dead dogfish, about a meter long, that had been blown up onto the beach. but the weirdest thing was a guy out past the breakers trying to surf! i asked the coast gaurd what his chances were of getting rescued and he said 'nil'! good times!
English hurricanes are usually a weaker version of American hurricanes, they hit the Carribean, go up the eastern seaboard of the UK and cross the Atlantic. When they cross the Atlantic they can wind up again over the waters, however they rarely turn up as severe due the cooler waters meaning we don't get the cyclogenesis that the Carribean does.
However, we also get home-grown Atlantic storms from Greenland/Iceland, which are often worse than remnants of hurricanes, at least for us.
We dont get hurricanes in the UK we get "tail end" of hurricanes which basically means storms that where hurricanes but have weakened to just ordianary deppressions! Most of our biggest storms are just European Wind Storms which are big areas of low preassure formed over the north-atlantic, hurricanes form in the tropics and have a fully developed eye at the centre of the storm!
@mkvalya It basically is just the clouds and left over wind and rain that has come across by this time the hurricane is basically dead. x'D We just get really high winds.
@mkvalya Strictly speaking, No - a hurricane only breeds over tropical oceans & cant survive in the cold north atlantic, however we do get fierce extratropical high latitude storms occassionally which do cause a bit of damage and flooding, the winds in our storms are no where near that of a full blown hurricane, for example, in 1992 hurricane andrews peak winds reached 175mph, while its not that often here they exceed 115mph
Born and bred in Cornwall, arrgg there just baby waves, hey go down to Sennen or Zennor, in heart of winter and see real waves..lol.... Love the tune tho..
Awesome - love the beach barbie ! Great soundtrack as well. I've seen several of your posts and am well impressed. Keep them coming please. Have you filmed up at Port Isaac ? CJ.
Wow!you are so lucky to live there.We go on holiday to cornwall quite regularly,and unfortunately have never seen the sea in a really wild state.Weve been to Mousehole several times at Christmas which is great,and we love St Ives.Thanks for posting,bring lovely memories back.

@RedLifeBenfica Perhaps you'd be better off living in a city as it sounds like you get bored pretty easily. St. Ives certainly isn't dull, but it's for people who prefer a quieter, slower pace of life. It's a favourite with artists. If you need lots of entertainment and "things to do" then stick to a city. I don't think places like St. Ives are for you.

I used to live in Newlyn. I'm an artist and moved down there to draw and paint the landscapes. It's many years ago now, but I have nostalgic memories of the beauty of the landscapes that I will never forget.
I popped down to St Ives on Tuesday, walked to the end of Smeaton's Pier and it was really freezing cold, soaking wet and blowing a gale and the sea was spectacular. I retreated to the Sloop to dry off at the fireside and contemplate the storm-lashed harbour from the window over a pint of stellas. Bliss!
Rattlers? Perhaps not. I love watching the sea in all weathers and especially when there is a storm. It's all the balance of nature at work and it's all spectacular.
Britain never gets hurricanes. the closest we ever came was the Force 11 storm that hit the south east on 16 October 1987 during which sustained wind speeds of 70mph and gusts of 110+mph were recorded. To see the power of a real hurricane, look up 'Hurricane Georges Puerto Rico'
Not correct! The highest sustained winds during the 87 storm were 70 mph along sections of the coasts of Sussex and Kent ie Force 11 - but you are correct that it was not a hurricane. Anyone who wants to see the power of a hurricane should look up 'Hurricane Georges Puerto Rico'.
In fact George the low pressure that hit Cornwall in the 80's gave an average sustained windspeed of 98 mph, this didnt get as much news cos it never hit the capital
Nice film. I was also a tad disappointed when Gordon didn't deliver in the way we expected. I was surfing Gower and it got good but no way epic. One of the few times Magic Seaweed got it wrong too.
Thanks, Biscuit Media. The air was heavy with expectation. We were all standing around waiting for the Big Storm to hit but we only got the end bit. Although that's lucky for the poor locals who get flooded every time the weather plays up.
when hurricane gordon came near the uk, it was classified as an extratropical cyclone, essentially a hurricane but allot less powerful as it didn't have the warm seas. you can get extratropical cyclones as far north as greenland.
Cheers, TVV. Thanks for the explanation. It was an anti-climax when it reached us as the build-up in the press had been so intense. But it was still exciting to know this was the shuddery tail end of something that must have been massive when it started. And the waves weren't half bad.
I love this video, its so beautiful, i love stormy seas, I don't have a camera otherwise I would post some of the fantastic waves we get here dueing typhoons!! i am in Japan!!
Just had 2 great weeks in Kernow, back in Liverpool now {damn} Stayed in Hayle and caught the end of hurricane Bill. The waves at Portreath were much bigger, if anyone is unaware and visiting cornwall check out Cape Cornwall, awesome place!

We dont get the actual hurricane its self but we get all the wind and stuff from it if it misses America and goes the wrong way. Also we get Atlantic winter storms which are sort of the same thing but cold not warm and are much less frequent and often less powerful. :)
yh big 5ft waves :O on that beach by st michaels mount there are 16ft waves! i used to surf there when i was 6. there not big at all! and about 7 years ago there was the tail of a tornado in angarrak, (halye) btw i cant spell since im 12 lol
Compared to the waves here(California), those are nothing. But, I'll take your word for it, that those are big for you. Despite the waves, it looks like a lovely place.
THE LEGENDARY CRIBBAR just for a kick off - that was taken up the coast at Fistral. No disrespect to the original poster, who I'm sure meant waves in that particular place or to nrlsky, who was only reponding to the description, but the most frustrating thing about words like the ones used in the video is when Australians/Californians/Hawaiians etc say "oh thats NOTHING compared to what we have"0. OK, its not Hawaii but its not a millpond in either.
That's not even that big by Porthmeor standards. There are much bigger waves around Cornwall and Devon, but u need a jet-ski. And im sure I remember seeing lots of clips of Malibu at 1-2ft lol.
Wicked song,I love Muse.Wouldn't use it for holiday video though.Went for a drink in St.Ives once, found all the pubs to be full of "been there done that" mancs and mockney "locals".Haha what a joke.Read the works of John Angarrack for the truth.
local legend says that St.Ives is the gateway to hell and when the day comes, the town will be sucked into the earth to release arrmagadden. Revelations:1:22
@MomOfSailorOnUSSKH well we kind of dont we get the end of the weather systems, because hurricanes have to form over waters of 27c and we definatly dont have water that warm !!
The waters in the habour were quite rough considering its fairly sheltered in there. You wouldn't epect big waves around some of the bays in st Ives anyway because they are quite sheltered and don't look directly out to the atlantic. I expect there were probably some big waves on the west coast, like sennen (white sands bay)?
There was a video someone posted that they'd taken at around the same time in Penzance. The waves were much higher and breaking right over the sea wall. So, yes, there's quite a discrepancy in conditions.
Makes you realise how St Ives is nearer perfection than anyone suspected now that we can see how sheltered it is.
i guess everyone knew already that stives was close to pefection, since they built a harbour there to shelter the boats from the millions of lows that track over each winter? nice video! can't agree that those waves are anything close to the biggest seen in cornwall though - i think you must have seen it much bigger many times! nice second song on the video
St Ives is too crowded and To be honest not very pleasing. If you want to go somewhere disent go a bit up the road to a town called Hayle its complete pardise
i just got back from here and the beach in st ives i went to was a real mess,bottles wrappers all over the place.Up the road in Hayle was perfect,really nice.Whats gone wrong in st ives???
I do know that, for the first time in years, dogs are allowed on the St Ives beaches during the summer, in the evening. So after 7pm the beach is filled with dogs and their owners, none of whom carried a plastic bag — and we were watching carefully!
No-one I spoke to was happy with this especially as there's been no consultation over the change in the rules that anyone had heard about.
great video, great music, captures the mood perfectly. Just returned from another holiday in "my" beloved St Ives. Can't get enough of it. Was stormy this time as well :-)
Hello MadamMiaow,Thanks for posting,this is a great video,and great music choice!!We always try to come to cornwall for a week or two each year,It has a magic about the place!We spend loads of time in the sea,weve traveled around the world a bit,but love corwall.We live inland,only 30 minutes from weston super mare !But miss Cornwall so bad,i manage to tell myself that you would get bored of the sea(Mind Tricks).Please could you tell me if you do???Be honest!!Im on verge of selling up!!
hi madam wen i was on my holiday u no the great white shark scare? i was sat on the beqach that day but on bbc spotlight we found out about it. it was really cool st ives and the surfers own!
Great video. I love Cornwall in the winter with all the hiden beauty and character that you never see in the summer. The tourists never get to see its true charm =]
By the way Cornwall is not and has never been in England (refering to your "about this video" section)
excellent - just got back from st ives - hoped for a storm but no luck - watched your video instead - beautifully filmed, music ............. mmmmmmmmmmmm
Is it too much to ask for a reasoned debate on my YouTube pages so that we can all learn something instead of trading insults? I'm now moderating comments so if you want yours approved, please have some respect for each other ... and for me.
Where else in the UK can you identify an indigenous territorial group having its national identity, status, constitution repressed, denied and lied about by the State and media.
This results in a lack of knowledge about the Duchy, its history and language.
Another notable example is Gaspard de Coligny Chatillon - the French Ambassador in London, who wrote saying that England was not a united whole as it 'contains Wales and Cornwall, natural enemies of the rest of England, and speaking a different language.'
Historically Cornwall was certainly recognised as separate: The Italian scholar Polydore Vergil in his famous Anglica Historia, published in 1535, wrote that:
'the whole Countrie of Britain ...is divided into iiii partes; whereof the one is inhabited of Englishmen, the other of Scottes, the third of Wallshemen, [and] the fowerthe of Cornishe people, which all differ emonge them selves, either in tongue, ...in manners, or ells in lawes and ordinaunces.'
But in the contemporary sense it is. If we are prepared to go back a few hundred years, we could argue in turn that Australia and India are still part of our Empire. It may have been seperate historically but not any more =)
Cornwall is in England that is all Bobmonkfish does on you tube is look for references concerning Cornwall and England he has never contributed to Youtube but just wants to annoy people with his stupid comments saying Cornwall is not English!
For goodness sake boy get a life you are a stupid proud idiot who probably still lives at home with his mummy!!
Trelawny (Furv Gernewek) in Cornish ;) Gans cledha da yn dorn yu lel Gwyr, lowen an golon Yth aswon Myghtern Jamys fel Pandr'wrello Kernowyon Yu ordnys le ha prys ancow? Trelawny dos dh'y fin?

We dont get the actual hurricane its self but we get all the wind and stuff from it if it misses America and goes the wrong way. Also we get Atlantic winter storms which are sort of the same thing but cold not warm and are much less frequent and often less powerful. :)

Compared to the waves here(California), those are nothing. But, I'll take your word for it, that those are big for you. Despite the waves, it looks like a lovely place.

futhyones 2 years ago
Course there are. Look at a YT vid called
THE LEGENDARY CRIBBAR just for a kick off - that was taken up the coast at Fistral. No disrespect to the original poster, who I'm sure meant waves in that particular place or to nrlsky, who was only reponding to the description, but the most frustrating thing about words like the ones used in the video is when Australians/Californians/Hawaiians etc say "oh thats NOTHING compared to what we have"0. OK, its not Hawaii but its not a millpond in either.

That's not even that big by Porthmeor standards. There are much bigger waves around Cornwall and Devon, but u need a jet-ski. And im sure I remember seeing lots of clips of Malibu at 1-2ft lol.

Andy1008 3 years ago
The waters in the habour were quite rough considering its fairly sheltered in there. You wouldn't epect big waves around some of the bays in st Ives anyway because they are quite sheltered and don't look directly out to the atlantic. I expect there were probably some big waves on the west coast, like sennen (white sands bay)?
Andy1008 3 years ago
There was a video someone posted that they'd taken at around the same time in Penzance. The waves were much higher and breaking right over the sea wall. So, yes, there's quite a discrepancy in conditions.
Makes you realise how St Ives is nearer perfection than anyone suspected now that we can see how sheltered it is.
MadamMiaow 3 years ago
i guess everyone knew already that stives was close to pefection, since they built a harbour there to shelter the boats from the millions of lows that track over each winter? nice video! can't agree that those waves are anything close to the biggest seen in cornwall though - i think you must have seen it much bigger many times! nice second song on the video

That's such a pity. Which beach?
I do know that, for the first time in years, dogs are allowed on the St Ives beaches during the summer, in the evening. So after 7pm the beach is filled with dogs and their owners, none of whom carried a plastic bag — and we were watching carefully!
No-one I spoke to was happy with this especially as there's been no consultation over the change in the rules that anyone had heard about.

Where else in the UK can you identify an indigenous territorial group having its national identity, status, constitution repressed, denied and lied about by the State and media.
This results in a lack of knowledge about the Duchy, its history and language.
It also leads to a lack of tolerance.
Enjoyed the vid. Keep smiling.

Another notable example is Gaspard de Coligny Chatillon - the French Ambassador in London, who wrote saying that England was not a united whole as it 'contains Wales and Cornwall, natural enemies of the rest of England, and speaking a different language.'

Historically Cornwall was certainly recognised as separate: The Italian scholar Polydore Vergil in his famous Anglica Historia, published in 1535, wrote that:
'the whole Countrie of Britain ...is divided into iiii partes; whereof the one is inhabited of Englishmen, the other of Scottes, the third of Wallshemen, [and] the fowerthe of Cornishe people, which all differ emonge them selves, either in tongue, ...in manners, or ells in lawes and ordinaunces.'

But in the contemporary sense it is. If we are prepared to go back a few hundred years, we could argue in turn that Australia and India are still part of our Empire. It may have been seperate historically but not any more =)
