15ft waves tomorrow - Redcar

[Graham00]

Anyone in the Redcar area Cleveland can expect some dramatic wave shots on the coast there, i don't know if there are any lighthouses close by but i would imagine it's worth setting the tripod up !

I'm just a bit further north, wonder if they'll reach here? Nice pier with a lighthouse (Roker, Sunderland) at the end
Waves often spray higher than it during heavy seas and the pics been done to death locally but another wouldn't hurt?

That's my day sorted then. I was shooting in Saltburn this morning, which is just a few miles along from Redcar.

I reckon the best place to go will be South Gare. The waves get pretty enormous up against the breakwater there. In fact, I was almost dragged into the sea by one when I was younger.

Thanks for the heads up.

Beats me.

I hadn't looked at the link until after I posted, and it's a shame it's meant to peak late in the afternoon, as I have other plans at that time. Ah well.

If you decide to make the effort Graham, make sure you post up about it, and I can keep an eye out for you. If it's dry, at least. If the weather is anything like it is now then I'll be staying indoors for the duration!

High tide at Saltburn is 5.32pm on Sunday, Redcar will only be a few minutes away from there.

I’m on the opposite coast to you guys, but I use this web site for tide times and heights. Seems fairly accurate

Oooo that's a bit late for me, won't get home until 8.30pm i was hoping for about an early afternoon slot.

I didn't go as far North as Redcar instead visiting Sandsend where there was a big tide, plenty of photographers there, one chap was tipping water out of his bridge camera

Anyway a couple of mine;

Wow fantastic shots Mark, nice one. I wonder if those drivers knew these waves were predicted lol.
might be worth posting these in the General photo section.

 

[GrittyShaker]

Wow, the waves definitely got a bit rougher later in the day!

Not as impressive, but these were the ones in Redcar at around 2pm.
