This is how it was in Hawaii during the 2011 Japan tsunami, except in some areas it was a bit stronger, enough to flood hotels and knock a couple of houses off their foundations on the Big Island (Kona west side). You were lucky that the Seychelles are far enough across the Indian Ocean to not be affected so much, same as us in Hawaii from Japan. Further east the Maldives got it much worse.
I know this is beating a dead horse but it shows that it helps to know what these things are before you experience them and not after when you might not have a chance.
@@shahinhasham9645 to be fair 2004 is one of the first times we see this shit on camera so most people, myself included, were probably unaware of that it's a warning sign. (Unless you have prior experience)

I live at Seychelles My Father was scuba diving he said he just saw fishes swimming fast as they could and then the Tsunami bring him on the beach my mother was on a boat they were at La Digue
Thank you for posting this! Remarkable footage of the water receding! I felt shivers up my spine watching this. Took great courage to stay. Thanks again
While all coasts can be attacked by Tsunamis, some areas have a much higher risk than others. This video should be mandatory viewing in coastal areas that are at risk for Tsunamis. It illustrates perfectly how the water quickly pulls back from the shoreline and how far out it goes, acting like a low tide ON STEROIDS. While there are several signs that a tsunami is imminent, THIS is the most important warning sign that Mother Nature will give you that a Tsunami is about to strike. If you’re at the beach and you see this happening…GET AWAY FROM THE COAST AND GET TO HIGH GROUND immediately. No high ground? Look for a concrete building and get to the roof. Earthquakes are the #1 cause of Tsunamis. If you feel the ground shaking, especially if the shaking is strong, get to high ground and keep your eyes on the water. There may be no tsunami, but better to be inconvenienced and safe until authorities give the all clear, than dead. Excellent video and great narration. Glad to see that at this location at least, the waves were under a meter high and basically nature provided us with a safe lesson in Tsunami warning signs. Thank you for the video. Happy you and your wife were safe! 👋 😊
Very fascinating! Good thing the tsunami was too weak here to build massive waves going far inland so you guys were very lucky, only witnessing a strange phenomenon in the bay without fearing for your life. Great video! :)
the tsunami was weak because of the well beeing of the coral reefs around the seychelles. it works like a natural wafe breaker offshore so the energy of the waves doesnt arrive the coast
The guy on the beach: look like the water goes down and up again. Me on a high ground giving zoom to record: it's fascinating 🤔 Plus: calling my parents saying that i love them!
What a amazing and beautiful site to watch, The power of that Tsunami has weakened just enough to wave in and out in the normal tidal range, The Power released during the Tsunami must be amazing and stuff
This is kind of amazing because unlike the Japanese tsunami, the people and the Indonesian tsunami had no warning and didn't realize a tsunami was coming. This is the only Indonesian tsunami footage I've seen where they knew a tsunami was coming
It was a tsunami, just not on this specific island... the tsunami hit mostly the main island, that's where there was the most injuries and 2 casualties... Seychelles has over a 100 islands, of course not a are going to get affected. He was lucky because it didn't hit that specific island but he could still experience the effects of a tsunami.

If this is footage of the boxing day tsunami, u should just be grateful that the earthquake and largest waves were in sumatra, Indonesia etc and not along the African coast
@@lucachichiarelli3534some info: A tsunami does NOT need to go beyond a shoreline. Sometimes, like here there's a straight of water, or the earthquake wasn't strong enough and the energy is absorbed- or never created- there's just not enough energy in the water to create that 'big wave' a lot of people assume is coming). But the wave is often not the first, or second thing. This may happen several times before a wave forms (here, the coral reef protected them. 20km away, it was an eight metre wave that went kilometres inland) The wave may go inland, then retreat, before coming again and again and again. Its great you're interested, but before 'telling someOne what a tsunami ISNT', you should check some easily available sources. This Tsunami killed more than a quarter of a MILLIION people, in tens of countries. It was devastating. GOOGLE: Boxing day Tsunami. Google : Japan Tsunami -will also reveal a LOT of information. The earthquake, a 9.0 that caused that (along with an undearsea landslide, its since been shown) was one of the 5 most powerful in the history of records, starting in 1900and actually slowed the roatation of EARTH ever so slightly. THAT Tsunami reached 40 metres in places. (132ft- or thereabouts) And there's so much footage of it..most of the time, it was in harbours. The name 'Tsunami' means harvour wave. Anyway. Educate yourself, before educating others. I tried to be as accurate as I could iin regards to numbers and apologise if sone were wrong. Its been many years since I read a lot on tsunami. Take care. Wear a mask, wash your hands Stay safe.
The ocean drawback and sudden increase in water level is a sign of an tsunami coming. The highest waves came after this recording. As a tsunami hits after drawback
He must have fainted when he heard news of how the tsunami acted in other locations.

i literally could've watched that the entire day if you recorded it. fascinating.
the water came in pretty fast, good thing the waves were weak

Water pulls back like that and I'm running for high ground.

Thats got to be the gentlest tsunami Ive ever seen.
This is before a tsunami hits.
This is a sign of danger
Seychelles is near Africa, tsunami point was near Indonesia. Imagine waves travelling that for.
J étais exactement sur cette plage ce fameux jour
They don't see that water coming back in? 😮
I think the guy didn’t know at the time that this was a sign of a tsunami...
shutup
Naw. He’s South African. He knows.

I'd say at this point that 3/4 to half the world now knows what a large receding ocean means at the beach ...
... Film from higher ground.
it's just too bad most people didn't realize what it meant when it happened in 2004. thank god for the internet today people learn much faster.
That’s a fair warning if people seen this now .
Your so casual in your narrative!
thank god the seychelles werent hit as hard as other places. such a beautiful beach.
Jeff Laster yeah it is ...only 3 peaple were killed
My biggest fear watching water retreating whilst chilling at the beach
waw amazing
The eb and flow! Fascinating!
Minha nossa! Parece o som de um ralo sugando a água, quando o mar recua. Impressionante a rapidez de todo o processo de alerta de perigo.
Sea comes back 😲
Wow you guys are lucky it wasn't that serious.

I'm glade you survived this. Great video.
Glad*
Top topics can use this video to upcoming video
I like how he narrates the obvious
Thanks god we didnt get such bad wave.
It's kinda sad. The guys with the cameras that have given us all this good footage should have known what was coming and not been on the beach at all.
no one knew about tsunamis before this one!!
Is there a lot of tsunamis because we are going there in apirl
Tsunamis are random. If you had a brain you would know this.
fgs this is from the devastating 2004 one where 206 thousand people died in indonesia/thailand/india etc
30,000 Hiroshima bombs 7,000 kilometers away...
the water not that hight the only danger is the rip current
