Standing Wave Watch with Loch Ness Exploration

Saturday 2nd November - 1pm-3pm

Ready for a unique Loch Ness experience? Join Alan McKenna from Loch Ness Exploration as we set out to observe a fascinating natural phenomenon—a standing wave!

A standing wave occurs when two waves moving in opposite directions combine, each with the same amplitude and frequency. Often mistaken for the elusive Nessie, this wave is one of Loch Ness’s many mysteries. Our goal is to capture this incredible sight through photos and video, helping us better understand and rule out these waves when searching for the legendary Loch Ness Monster.

Bring your camera, your curiosity, and your sense of adventure! Let’s unravel some of the mysteries of Loch Ness together.

Standing Wave Watch

Join us and Alan Mckenna from Loch Ness Exploration to record and monitor standing waves on Loch Ness.

Standing waves in Loch Ness are fascinating phenomena caused by the interaction of water currents and the unique topography of the loch. These waves can create distinct patterns that might be mistaken for the legendary Loch Ness Monster.

To enhance our understanding and monitoring of these waves, we invite you to help us capture them on camera or video. Your contributions will aid in ruling out possible misidentifications of Nessie, allowing us to separate myth from reality in our ongoing quest to uncover the truth about Loch Ness.

Alan Mckenna & Loch Ness Exploration

Alan McKenna leads Loch Ness Exploration, an independent voluntary research group based in Scotland dedicated to the search for Nessie.
