Youtube - Timelapse of tidal Surge of 08th Jan 2019

[dennyjc]

Luckily the peak surge of 2.0m came slightly before local HW
The peak height of water in this video is a few mm short of 5.0m (as measured at Harwich)

If you don't blink - you'll see a brave soul lock out just after HW

It looks like it's very nearly over the top of the sea wall towards the rear of the marina.

I like the way the nearest boat ashore does a little jump at one point.

It looks like it's very nearly over the top of the sea wall towards the rear of the marina. ...

A matter of perspective and angle, surely?

did anyone see it at SYH?

did anyone see it at SYH?

I did. No photographic evidence i'm afraid, but it didn't breech the sea wall or banks or cause any issues (we did have to walk up the gangway to get 'down' to the pontoons though ).
