Bike and Walk Cape Town, who are you? Putting yourself in danger to produce this devastating evidence of what we experienced the past few days? Well done dudes, I hid in my house too scared to show my face..... I walked the peers you've shown numerous times. Well done!!! Much Love...
@@MirindaTriegaardt Sure, but in my 72 years in Cape Town, the government never closed schools to make amends for their incompetent service delivery to the poor and homeless.
@@aubreydebliquy8051 closing schools in the face of a natural disaster is just the logical thing to do, it's nothing about making amends, it's about following safety protocols. Every City in every Country that has the capacity to do so, does the same thing.
@@dawoodwilliams3652 Nonsense it is a knee jerk thing to do to close ALL schools for a bit of bad weather. This is normal weather for Cape Town and we have always dealt with it appropriately without big brother government getting involved. Centralized totalitarian decision making is inherently bad policy because one size does not fit all. Big government leads to big errors.
Usual Cape storms, invigorating, exciting. 80 plus years ago my Dad used to take me fishing off the end of the pier every Sunday, and then home to the lunchtime Sunday roast. Such happy memories of Kalkbay.
Wasn't this same restaurant flooded in a previous storm where the windows shattered with the force of the water hitting. Even the seal is like no heck NO I'm not going into the water and the seagulls are like, fellas, we can't soar like the eagle in the wind, best to park on the shore and watch 😅
Correct. In Sept. 2023, we had a very big swell event along our coastline (6-8m swell). It was a combination of a very high spring-high tide (tidal surges) and very large ocean swell (it was a record in some places and reported as 9-10m in some areas). This led to some really big waves and huge tidal surges. In contrast, this current event is quite different, as it was caused by a very strong cut-off frontal low pressure system and the storm surge was caused by gale-force onshore winds (blowing from ocean onto the shoreline). The swell is actually pretty small (approx. 2.5-3m), although the high tide is also quite high. Hope that helps anyone.
As Bartolomeu Dias called it "Cabo das tormentas" Not the first and definitely not the last. The Cape of storms holds true to its name. Love it or hate it, it is what it is.
What a lovely swimming tidal pool that Kalk Bay would be. All despite of this weather 😮😮😮😮😮😮. And that tower. If you have the guts. Stay up there in that weather. BETTER be kitted out in the right gear. For one's own sake. Wet suit. Rain coats. Wellington's. Etc. What a lovely. Adventure for. Me if I. Was. 30 years younger
Good grief, I would never sleep in those conditions. The video is magnificent, but the sea is so unpredictable. No wonder it is called the Cape of Storms. Those conditions are too tough for me, I do not like cold damp and windy conditions at all. The Highveld has the best climatic conditions. Africa is not for sussies that is for sure. Enjoy the challenging weather conditions keep safe.
@Livingmarks25 Wind prediction next week looks breezy South East (same direction as in this video), but way less strength. Still strong if you are not used to any wind. Mostly the Friday (12th), and the Sat, but by the Sunday it looks nice again. Enjoy your stay.
@@Livingmarks25 Keep in mind that almost the entire cape peninsula is affected by the south east wind. A few areas here and there are protected from it, but most places feel it (Locals are generally very used to it). It is slightly unusual to be experiencing such a strong S/East wind at this time of the year. Side note: (gale force SE wind + dark rain clouds=Black South Easter, but when only a steady 25-45km/h, it is more generally known as the Cape Doctor, and is a summer trade wind). Usually this time of the year is a slightly calmer, peaceful time, weatherwise, as the truly hot, summer days are over and the winter storms haven't arrived in full force yet. Fingers crossed you get the lovely clear, windless blue-sky days that we often experience throughout Autumn and Winter, usually between big storms. Cheers and be safe.
South Easter blowing a gale in April? Weather could be all over the place because of the eclipse but bear in mind El Nino is predicted to return this summer (water rationing) hold on to your hats.
@Micasa . El Nino already in operation... Effects will increase in intensity. See Al Jazeera a few days ago on substantial report by experts on Southern part of Africa... After a global climate change Conference. Most analysts forgo a discussion on North/South differentials, unfortunately.
Got your attention as well? "Black South Easter" storm in April??? They're messing with the weather and calling it *_climate change_* and we know it. See eg "HAARP".
Weather has been crazy. Suns coming out this morning luckily. Yo... Those boats dont look like theyve passed seaworthy in a decade! 😂 Thats Kalk Bay for ya
If one sees the vastness of the Sea, human being are so tiny and Mother Nature is the ultimate truth....whether one makes it in life or not reaching the goal in life !!
Scary with o e not familiar with this kind d of cha ge in weather, especially when the seas become "hostile" in this manner, but anyway mama nature talks.❤❤❤
It's good the boats are sheltered behind the Quay wall. When the seas are bad like this out to sea. You sleep like a baby. The swells rock you to sleep
Luke 21:25-27 KJV And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.🙏🏻
We have had the same weather for hundres of years. Its either a drought or flood, famine or feast, plagues, sickness and times of abundence it has nothing to do with global warming, and so it shall be until the Lod returns. Could be 10 days, 10 years or 1000 years.
Its been hapoening for centuries....nothing has changed. Pagues, famine, droughts, floods, disease, wars, peace etc this is NOTHING new. And generally on a 7 year cycle..,God is in control
Brown foam, which is occasionally seen on our beaches from time to time is called surf foam or surf scum. It can be easily mistaken for pollution, but it isn't. It is a collection of millions of microscopic algae (bloom) and is a natural phenomenon. Also, brown sea foam is normal and generally nothing to do with pollution, but as a result of churned up stuff (usually river silt, but also from kelp beds being smashed against rocks etc) from the sea floor, and it is very common after high winds and big waves.
@@jameslangridge1674 Ja, just like the brown foam that *_STARTS at the Strandfontein sewerage outlet_* on Baden Powel and spreads West along the beach 24hrs/day, 365 days/year for many kilometers. *_Must be those "smashed up kelp and micro organisims"_* Can't possibly be a broken or overloaded sewerage plant. Never saw this in the 1970's with horses down on that beach, ever! Zeekoevlei which is a few hundred metres north of this sewerage plant, where I lived for 52 years became a sewerage dump with the *_city that works for you_* council sending warnings about water pollution. Give me a break, I've got eyes.
@@SB-wh9kf If it's not BS then explain the brown stuff coming out of the canal which starts at Rondevlei and is joined by the overflow from the sewerage works, between Muizenburg and Strandfontein? Even a person with 50% vision can see it, the same stuff that screwed the reverse osmosis plants in 2017, Waterfront and False Bay, it was sewerage. Remember the Day Zero lies? If that's kelp then I'll show you my cattle ranch in Adderley St. Also, we sailed up the West coast last year and could only stand 2 weeks at anchor in St Helena Bay, totally polluted. Spent 4 months in Saldanha, not so bad. All of our coast line is polluted. False Bay is particularly bad, even the fish have run away, ask the fishermen, they'll tell you. Certainly don't believe a word that a Councillor tells you, they're all psychopathic liars....with an agenda. Take care.

It's just the Cape of Storms living up to its original name
Had many beer at the Bell in decades gone by. Glad to see the sea is still a very prominent member of that establishment.
This is known as the Cape of Storms. We've seen many like it before. First severe winter storm usually happens around Easter time. Nothing unusual.
The Cape of Good Hope 😂😂

The Seagulls are like "hold my beer fellas, just another day in paradise!"
There was a pretty bad storm 8 years ago. I wouldn't say it happens every year, but definitely on a cycle.
Normal winter storms for Cape Town
Definitely not for the Eastern parts.
It normally comes from the North West, not from the South East
Nature is beautiful, take care everyone.
Loved this video thank you!
I am originally from the Cape a born Capetonian I not been back for 20 years I know how the weather can be big swells you got there

What about Cape Point, Green Point, False Bay?
Thanks for sharing! Taking out the sound of the wind and edding some beautiful music would've been spectacular...
