It’s in the description. Ran out of room to type “wall” or “sea wall”. Max character limit reached. Sorry.

@@ThirdCoastElectronics Right, I am just saying that a barrier is similar than a normal wall, even walls in houses for example.

@MassimoCalderaro-u8h in this instance, it’s referred to as a seawall or bulkhead. It runs parallel to the ICW. If it were a barrier, it would be designed to stop the flow of water into Corpus Christi Bay.

@@ThirdCoastElectronics Yes, a bulkhead is a boundary of compartments.

@@ThirdCoastElectronics A bulkhead is for planes or ships that are the boundaries for compartments.

They are supposed to reduce speed to 8-9 knots in this area. Houston ship channel only limits these ships to 21-22 knots. I’m not sure how well it’s actually regulated. It seems that these ships pretty much come through at whatever speed the captain feels comfortable with, and unfortunately only gets questioned after an accident occurs. Such as the fatal accident that occurred in July 2024. That was a completely different situation with different circumstances, and the wake didn’t play any part in the incident.

They have completely replaced seawall since this video was posted. Hurricane Harvey storm surge did the damage you see in the video.

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching. 👍

lol. Ok.

It’s a combination of pull from the props, how low the ship is sitting in water (loaded/unloaded), incoming/outgoing tide, low vs high tide, and wind direction and speed. It all plays a part. A few times a year, everything aligns and you get a massive pull of water. It’s usually a cleaner wave if ship is coming from the other direction.

Pretty cool to see

We don’t have those kinds of tidal surges here in this area. Our tides are always a gradual transition, unless there’s a TS/Hurricane or strong cold front. All these ships came through within a 10 minute timeframe. One after another.

Progressively larger. As in the second is larger than first. I didn’t call these large waves. Though they are a lot bigger than they look on camera.

I live 1 mile from the beach. You’d be surprised how much force is behind a tanker wave compared to a wave at the beach.

Right. Property value and tax probably went up too. Lol. Boardwalk got washed away though. 😳

That’s why I always go down there with my flounder gig. Run out when water pulls back, gig a few fish, and run back before wave catches you. Haven’t been as many flounder in that spot this year.

Golf cart got stuck in sand and caught fire.

They said battery blew up. Idk exactly but something didn’t go as planned.

Thanks.

Have you tried checking your RTC settings? The Real Time Control can mess things up if the time/date is off. Not sure why since it’s not connected to a external network. Press settings button until you get to time/date menu. If the screen just flashes and doesn’t let you see menu options then the control board is bad and needs to be replaced. Also, where is your unit getting its intake air from, and where is the exhaust vented to?

Or you can try a hard reset. Press and hold top left and middle left buttons at same time for 5 seconds until it asks for code. Default code is 2 4 6 8. Then you would have to set the RTC again after it turns back on.

Says 2500 lumens. It’s meant to be used with 12VDC battery, but I use 18V and 20V DC drill batteries. Might be a bit brighter.

@ThirdCoastElectronics would these be better to use than a spotlight? Or is it the same

@brte728 it depends on if you’re talking about underwater spot light or above water. You’d be surprised how many fish you don’t see if you’re not using a underwater light. I have a video I need to post of flounder completely disappearing when light is brought above the waterline. It’s crazy. Completely vanishes from sight.

As long as it’s a underwater light then whatever spread pattern you prefer. I like a flood pattern better so I can see a bit more to the sides. Ive also tried multiple spot lights but the resistance against the water makes it very difficult to maneuver, and will wear your arm out pretty quick.

@ThirdCoastElectronics I'm gonna need to try a submersible spreader light like yours then. My spot light is for above water but waterproof so maybe it can be used underwater not sure. But if the lights make a difference then I should give it a try

Port Aransas, Texas. At the south end of Port Street.

Lol. Well I’m really only posting these for fun. However, the youtube algorithm messed up my views. I made a slight change to the channel name and my weekly views went from 12,000+ down to 36. I’m back up to 800+ now, but that was a major set back.

And it will only get worse with the ships getting bigger.

It was pretty crazy. I have a vhs tape with close up shots of the waterfall when it started coming around the overflow area. I’ve been looking everywhere for it. Might have been burned in house fire we had a few years ago. 😥 I’ll post video if I ever find it.

First of all. Obviously it’s audio from the other guys video, which it clearly states. Second, the boat is real. Look it up on newspaper website Port Aransas South Jetty. Not chasing anything. Move along.

The lame music, (and yes, I agree, it’s lame), is much better than the wind noise. Wind was blowing directly across the channel that day. Some of the other videos have less lame music. I’ll post one for you with no music. Subscribe and share, and I’ll do the same.

Legit?

The waves tend to bounce back off the bulkhead, over to opposite side of channel, and then back again. If the second ship passes through at the right time, it will combine with the first wave as it heads back across the channel. I think this one caught the wave traveling in opposite direction causing it to push up with less forward momentum.

Trust me. I know what it’s capable of. I’ve seen plenty of people who thought it was just a regular wave get feet knocked out from under them.

Exactly. I believe there’s also a Texas law that restricts private property boundaries on navigable bodies of water including tidal areas.

@@ThirdCoastElectronics if it were me, I'd go out there and take selfies out of spite.

@@DiametralPitch I was thinking about printing out the documentation, and going wade fishing on other side of the poles there. Strap a GoPro to my chest. See what unfolds.

Texas has a property law known as open beaches. This pertains to beaches along the Gulf of Mexico as well as all beaches of inland bays, and any other body of navigable water which is not surrounded on all sides by private property of a single owner. The law also has a “rolling easement” clause which pertains to the area which the public has rights to use. This area fluctuates with tides and increasing/decreasing mean water levels in said body of water. This area is clearly not private property, and anyone has the right to use it. I’ll be back.

I’m not an idiot. This was Oct 31. Closed season is Nov 1st - Dec 14th. Pretty sure I already said that in the video description.

@@ThirdCoastElectronicshaha this guy is a certified hater

They are working on that area now. Finally! The new pier is almost finished, and they are completely redoing the entire bulkhead.

@@ThirdCoastElectronics great for many years that area needed quite a bit of repairs, even before Harvey came thru. With the weather in my town it has me missing g Port A today, where I could go out for a bike ride and explore today.

They got the pillars and slab set for the new pier at Charlie’s Pasture. Considerably higher and definitely sturdier than the old pier. Station St pier is has reopened. They are also working on the pier at Robert’s Point. I might run around this afternoon, and get some video posted.

Yep. 👍🤙 They are currently dredging again. I wonder how much it’s going to affect the wave action from the ships.

@@ThirdCoastElectronics Those Big LNG tankers should be throwing a huge wave no matter what. 2 years ago I got on video a guy surfing the qtr waves. It is on Port A shutterbugs but again it was 2 years ago.

Yeah, I just drove down there, and one of the ships that came through pushed a wave up over the road. About half way down the bulkhead.

Back I. 2016 I was at the pier in the channel, Harvey removed it, but the qtr wave cleared the pier, and well everyone that was not watching it for about 400 feet north of the pier. And that was a 250m long 42m wide tanker.

Port Aransas, TX Multiple ships pass through here every day. All year long.

Does it matter? And yes, I sure do. However, the majority of people search the term “tanker”. Doubt anyone is typing in “gas carrier ship wave”. 🤷

I have a vhs tape somewhere in storage. We walked right up to the water on bottom side of spillway. Recorded a good hour of footage. Some guy was taking pictures, and dropped his camera in the water. He actually jumped in after it…crazy. Luckily, he rode it out, and climbed out on far bank of Leon River.

Thanks. I’ll have to get back to you with song title. It was one of the license free tracks I had access to when I subscribed to the Splice app package.

@@ThirdCoastElectronics Thank you !

Yessir

Yep. I’ll edit the description. However, the displaced water usually rushes back in with a parallel wave. Out of the thousands of displacement waves I’ve seen at this location, this is the one and only perpendicular wave I’ve seen.

@@ThirdCoastElectronics that's weird. Thanks for sharing

@Laser Lenny tide was 0.7ft above average level that day at that time. I’ve seen a lot of ships come through at this spot at all different tide levels. The higher tides tend to push a bigger swell here.

This is the Intracoastal waterway. We don’t get tides like that here. Plus, that wave is moving out toward Gulf of Mexico. Also, I see it happen 10+ times a day….when ships pass, and it’s on video. Would you like me to post another one?

@@ThirdCoastElectronics thanks for clarifying. I would think that the waves would be coming parallel to the ship rather than in the direction of the ship.

@@richardl3720 I think it has something to do with the shape of the ship hull under the waterline. Last week a ship I hadn’t seen before came through, and pushed a wave directly outward 90° from the ship. Followed by a larger 45° push in same direction. I’ll see if I can find the video, and post it.

brilliant engineering on the break walls. The waves consumed themselves before retreating.

We rode it out in a brick house between Ingleside and Aransas Pass. It was a long night. Looked like a bomb went off the next morning.
