  • aw dude great vid :D thumbs up

  • same thing happened in hawaii. the tsunami is not really a wave, rather it is the rapid rise and fall in sea level

  • that's amazing, we noticed something like that 2 years ago on the north of australia.. good video

  • Thank you for posting! This is so cool!

  • LOL that was cool...

  • The sea level rose and fell about 3 feet, in about 4 cycles, in a little over an hour. Thats not a very normal tide.

  • I wish I had gone to see this in Carlsbad. I could have watched it from the top of that wall they have by the beach.

  • Nice video thanks for posting.

  • What was the real-time duration between the tsunami waves? Great video!

  • @alicechaos THE TIME FROM ONE TSUNAMI WAVE TO THE NEXT CAN BE FIVE MINUTES TO AN HOUR, AND THE THREAT CAN CONTINUE FOR MANY HOURS AS MULTIPLE WAVES ARRIVE.

  • I was only there for a little more than an hour, I may have missed any waves before or after that. It was 1 frame/second, so time these crests and multiply by 24 (frames/sec replay) to get real time.

  • Blink, and you'll miss it ;)

    Not that it's anything insignificant, but you can see the surges move through.

    One at 1:05, smaller one at 1:26, you see levels drop at 1:39 only to come up again at 1:49. Out again at 2:02 only to come back obviously at 2:19 (I wonder if those folks wandering around the rocks realized they were standing in a Tsunami?) And then out and back again towards the end of the clip.

    That's not tidal people, that's the Event in action.

    Great clip! thx for the post!

  • True, that is the event. You probably wouldn't notice it if you weren't looking for it. Tsunamis are not always noticeable...

  • Ignorance is scared. And, lucky spectators.

  • There were actually people swimming and surfing just off-camera. They probably never noticed it.

  • hasn't hit yet.

  • It is there, but subtle. water level moves up and down 2-3 feet in 15 minute or so cycles. For perspective, the rocky reef in background is about one acre in size. Long waves, just not very tall here.
