Q: Haining tidal wave 2014, when exactly?
Does anybody know exactly which day or days it will be able to check this year?
9 years 39 weeks ago in Transport & Travel - China
its been raining in Qingdao for the past 18hrs or so...
most of the time raining cats and dogs ...
Seems like nobody here knows what is it. Its a big wave coming due some special trick done by gravity & moon in a specific day & time in a place called Haining in Zhejiang. Wave is big and every year lots of people go to check it & every year people die. It happens in September every year.
Hope someone can give real info.
Thanks

Spectators are swept away by huge waves while watching tides of Qiantang River at a dike on August 31, 2011 in Haining, Zhejiang Province of China. More than 20 spectators were injured by strong tides as the typhoon Nanmadol approached on Wednesday.

2nd link is last year's tidal wave (August 22nd, 2013). I couldn't find anything on Internet on 'gravity' and 'Haining'. It doesn't look, wave in Haining occurs at 'specific day & time'.
See more waves daily in Nantucket, MA, year around. haha…..You're talking to the 'waves guy' here…...
morocotopo:
So any info about this year's?? That's what my question is about dude.
icnif77:
It doesn't look it happened every year. You can't find the date of this year's wave. It's not like an 'Opera concert'.
You should be there at the right time, in other words 'be lucky'.
Just go for vacation to Haining, and if right moon, it might happened.
That's why I suggested Nantucket, because island is famous for surfers (high) waves daily. Gov. try to protect beaches, because sometimes beach is there in the morning, and before sunset beach is gone.
Even if you hit S. Florida, you might get a day, where everybody's sitting on the beach in 92*F weather, because waves are too high.
Only surf-boarders (and me) are in the water. I don't have board. I find it very 'inconvenient' to carry the thingy to the beach. I love to swim/dip in huge waves.
Surfers when looking for the big one, don't know when it will happened. They just know, area is usually wavy.
I was wrong: 'It is Opera!' In China. From the article on the front page of eChina:
The best times to view the spectacle are on August 27 and the 18th day of the 8th month of the Lunar calendar, which falls on September 11 this year.
