On 16 September 2023 the Cape coastline got smashed by a very unique and monstrous 7m @ 16 second ground swell from the SSW direction. Combined with a tidal surge due to the moon phase, the New Moon, which results in a spring high tide. The combination of the large ground swell and the spring high tide resulted in the gigantic wave breaking over the boundary wall and into beachfront road causing havoc on parked vehicles which got stuck in the oceans wrecking path.
There were many similar cases all around the South African coastline.

Great work! What song is that?
The rich and famous taking the blows.
Thank you. What's the songs name and the artist
Why would you build in an area that actually belongs to the ocean? Stupid
It is not only the rich and famous – normal people also have damage. People who run the small restaurants on the beach front or the B&B's. Seriously!!
Song is Outro, M83. Gives the video a college road-trip vibe while folks are loosing everything

End times are here at last. This is just the beginning of woes.. Jesus's words not mine.
Why Do We Have to Have Natural Disasters?
We receive major blows from nature ultimately in order to shake us out of the state where we live according to an egoistic paradigm—with exploitation, manipulation and hatred dwelling in our connections—to a state where we positively connect, as described by the words, “as one man with one heart,” i.e., as a single well-oiled interconnected and interdependent system.
In other words, if we shared a harmonious and balanced connection to each other on the human level, then the balance at our level would ripple throughout nature and we would experience nature harmoniously and peacefully, and natural disasters, as we call them, would become a thing of the past.
We would be wise to pay attention to the future states that we can achieve out of such blows: that the blows come to shake us out of our current dreamlike state in our egoistic attitudes to each other, and wake us up into an opposite harmonious and peaceful world.
In fact, we live in a world that is all good, and only we human beings give the world a negative form in our egoistic attitudes to each other. The time is nearing when we will awaken to the need to stop relating to each other through egoistic lenses—where we each prioritize self-benefit at others’ expense—and instead relate patiently to each other with positive, kind and caring attitudes.
If we made such a switch, we would bear witness to a good life, the likes of which we have never before experienced. We should thus try to reach such relations as quickly as possible.
Looking out over the sea every day is like welcoming the sea into your home 🙈 Staying close to the water is costly. May what you lost be replaceable 🙏
Amazing footage. Thank you for sharing.
Great video footage and music.
Its cooking!!
Build in silly places, win silly prizes
U can't park the car there
You were at the right time nd the right place ..Awesome footage ..
If they built just a little bit more close to the water, they would have had such fun much earlyer.
I wouldn't call it "carnage", it's just a few cars being moved around by a little water which in any event is all insured.
Losing your little home with everything inside is carnage.
BELOVED PEOPLES of ours….PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WARN THE FISHERMEN! This is just the beginning of the pole shift! It will become progressively worse without warning. That WAS NOT A SPRING TIDE!💯‼️👀The worst earth wobble is yet to happen. Pole shift is about to take place and its going to be a disastrous event for the coastal peoples. 🙏🤗❤️ please be very aware and alert going forward! The earth is busy shifting this is no joke this is real!
No sympathy for those idiots who build right on the edge of the sea. Businesses and private homes alike. You build there expect consequences assholes
Sorry to everyone that had a loss😢
That song reminds of this one Netflix series called Ragnarok 🔥💪🏾
End the is naby. Jesus get gese dit is wat gaan gebeur. Sterkte aan die mense. Groot skade
"" To all the rich money wont save you, but "Jesus Christ will. ✝️ 🙏
cool footage 👌🏽
Thats nature plus human error
Global warming
Building too close to the waterline. We have Spring tides every year. Nature hasn't changed, people are just idiots and greedy.
As the climate heads into greater extremes globally, how can we best deal with future climate crises?
The short answer is that we cannot deal with them unless we take care of nature's inner balance.
We live in a tightly-closed and interdependent system in which everything boomerangs back to us. While living in such a system, we need to reconsider what we want and think, and how we treat each other, because our human connections are the primary influence on how nature responds to us.
It is common to think that climate is dependent on factors outside of us—whether it be balances between heat and cold in the environment, or the effects of various kinds of pollution we emit—because we lack a complete picture of how our attitudes to each other bring about the strongest responses from nature toward us.
No creature distorts nature the way that we people do. And it is not simply a matter of switching to renewable energy sources, electric cars and the like; it is a matter of how we relate to each other.
If we truly wish to witness more balance throughout nature and not have to deal with all kinds of cold waves and other natural disasters, then similarly to how we have electricity, water and gas meters in our homes, we should also have meters that count how much evil we emit into the world from our negative attitudes to each other. What I mean is that if we could feel the extent to which we emit negative forces into the world, which negatively ricochet back to us, then we would wish to change this negative driver within us. We would want to switch it to a drive that makes our human connections positive, and which harmonizes us with nature.
In simple terms, when we get up in the morning, we should first and foremost consider what we need to do in order for all people to have it good. Developing such an attitude is not so simple, yet we will need to seriously work on it as we head into the future. A life of increasing blows from nature or a life of peace and harmony depends on the extent to which we impact a shift in our attitudes to each other—from negative to positive.
Only one person died. She, an elderly woman, was sitting in her car when the waves struck her car. The cover of the video is ridiculous and there was no carnage. Cry wolf too often then no one will waste there time watching their videos.
Nature doing Spring Cleaning
The south african ancestors are rising….
Yep – watched the HUGE rollers from a safe point on KZN South Coast. My worry is we might see these seas again and bigger, as we all warm up. what fun.
Those properties on the seafront values just plummeted with n few millions… I for sure wont buy any property there after seeing this.
I live in Gordon's Bay but still trying to figure out where this is??
The sea wall barely did anything.
I thought I read where a huge tidal wave will destroy the coastline in the near future?😮
