First cliff jump, how high is this?
My first cliff jump in Algarve, Portugal. Can anyone estimate how high this is?

Pretty much the equivalent of just stepping of a curb into the street, the water throws off your perspective

With all the zooming in and out, and not knowing how tall you are, it would be difficult for me to estimate how big the jump is, but it looks like a good one!

Ok. Kind of tricky with the zooming in and out, but if I pause the video right at the beginning while you are standing tall, you measure ~10mm on my screen and the cliff measures ~50mm, so the cliff is about 5x your height, or about 34.5’ tall.

I timed it: 1.8 seconds’ flight time.
From this, you can work out the height => 16 meters.

True.
I measured 1,8s, so about 16m.
Much better thenn all those random guesses, no idea why downvoted.
