The Eiffel tower does not sway in the wind at all. It is very big, very tall, and very,very, strong.
The observatory at the top of the Eiffel tower noted a record movement of 13 cm during the tempest of December 1999 (under winds of 240 km/h).
The Eiffel does not, or practically not, move in the wind. Its lattice structure allows for minimal wind pressure, which Eiffel engineers had to kept under a 70 centimetres total amplitude at the summit. That never was the case, and according to the tower's observatory, the greatest amplitude ever recorded at the top was 13 centimetres (5.11 inches) in the strongest winds recorded (240 km/h - 149.12 miles/hour) in the December 1999 tempest.
It sways 7cm when its windy, and 11cm in a wind storm.
When you are up The Eiffel Tower you can feel it sway,but not much.
If you are just looking at it though you cant see it moving.
