I can't believe this guy sailed all the way across the Pacific and during a hurricane just to demonstrate wind speed in a seven minute video. Mad.

thank you for sharing! it's very interesting to see how the beaufort scale translates into actual reality

Takes me back to my days as a METOC while serving on HMS Ark Royal. Thankfully I never saw scale 11-12 while at sea. Scale 10 in the Norwegian Sea was frightening

Lovely video showing the different scales. Thanks!

In the movie The Perfect Storm starring George Clooney, we see the small fishing boat climbing up a vertical wave. What would the Beaufort scale be? 100?

I must have been in more hurricanes than I thought, then. Wind state and sea state are two different things.

Thank you for sharing this. Ten years ago, when i was ten or eleven years old, i went on a fishing trip on my family's 62-foot fishing vessel, and we traveled at night through big waves.

I didn't know until recently that it was most likely a strong gale or a storm, based on how high the boat would heave as it rides up and down a wave. but i couldn't see the water around us from the wheelhouse.

I was having fun, but everyone was in the wheelhouse, and it was quiet. i never acknowledged it until i remembered.

What is the maximum wave height to ship-length ratio for head sea, if there is a rule? I only know how to obtain the boats limits for beam sea.

Thank you for sharing this. I just looked at the beaufort scale to determine if it was a gale or a storm in that one trip.

Funny how Jesus didn't use his skills of calming storms to let him easily sail across the ocean blue in a little fishing boat to take his gospel to the Americas or at least draw a map to tell the disciples to go into all the world double quick instead of leaving it til 1492. Anyway what beaufort is it when the sea starts smoking ? 9 or 10 ? I suppose with the nature of unsteady winds in gales that a storm probably goes up and down like force 10 for several minutes then dropping back to 8 then picking up again to 10, or is that basically force 8 with force 10 gusts ?

Hello! Is it possible by any chance to contact you regarding this rough sea video? I would be interested to discuss a license to use it if this is possible. Cheers!

Interesting video, thanks for sharing. The Beaufort scale says it's still somewhat subjective and the 9-12s you showed all looked like 9s based on the description. Wind speed is only an approximate in the scale, conditions are the actual driving factor.

Guys does anyone know what's the highest wave height that is safe/managable for a small single person rubber boat?

That wasn’t a 10 meter wave height. More like 5-6 meters max.
