How much does the top of the Eiffel tower sway?
About 6 inches in the strongest winds
How much does the Eiffel tower sway in the high winds?
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.

How much wind will it need to knock the Eiffel Tower?
This is unlikely that any wind can knock the Eiffel tower. The engineer Gustave Eiffel required that the tower could withstand a movement of 70 centimeters of magnitude at its top. That never happened and in the highest winds recorded there (240 kilometers by hour in the Dec 1999 tempest), the amplitude was 13 centimeters only.
How high would wind speeds have to be to make the Eiffel tower sway?
The wikipedia article (French version) states that the recorded movements of the tower were at most (at the top) : 18 centimeters due to the dilatation of the sunny side during the heat wave of 1976; and 13 centimeters during the 1999 tempest (winds of 240Km/h at the top of the tower)
