[@norml.hugh-mann]

Large ships wake can look identical in the right bottom conditions ..like reefs where the ship sailing near top speed since its open ocean and the reef protrudes...but yeah, rogue waves aren't rare.but are hard to capture because they form so quickly usually and are gone just as quickly....this boat size and closeness to the water actually has the opposite effect on the typical images of rogue waves captured from ships high above the water... This size wave will certainly capsize smaller motorboats..sailboats will most often right themselves or lean all the way over on their side and get pushed a few feet by it then right thselves...as long as all the hatches are secured the sailboat can usually be fine...powerboats don't though and once over your done for

[@RareVBlue]

Lol I remember about 25 years ago when I was working on a big supply boat in the Gulf of Mexico, a random rogue wave hit and washed over the stern, knocking me down and into the H bit. I wasn't hurt but I was extremely angry because my shift had just started and I was already soaking wet. So I went inside, changed clothes, got back outside, and another rogue wave hit knocking me down and sending me flying across the deck. I was soaked again and so much more angry that I ripped my hard hat off and threw it at the deck only to watch it bounce and fly overboard.

[@randmayfield5695]

I was in the USCG on a buoy tender that worked the coast up and down Washington and Oregon. In that water every wave was a rogue wave. Heading out to sea through the Colombia River bar at night with waves breaking jetty to jetty was always concerning because you could hear the water hitting the huge jetty rocks a mile away. They don't call it the 'Graveyard of the Pacific' for nothing.

[@robertmantell1700]

No it isn't, they are predicted. Your wave buoy reads an average wave height, and you can plan on around a third of them being a little bigger, and a third being a little smaller, so your wave buoy as you see it on the NWS sites are the average third. About once every 1000 waves there will be one that is twice the heigh of the average mean wave height. It can't be rogue if it is predicted. If you are fishing on the 60-90ft mark, where a lot of the near hsore crabbers set their gear you're gonna see your share of them.

You guys do know the definition of a road wave is any wave that is a certain amount times larger than the other surrounding waves right that is the definition of rogue wave I believe it's 1.3 times larger than the surrounding waves or some s*** so for the cease to be fairly calm like they were and then out of nowhere would look to be a maybe 10 ft 12 ft waves smacking them yeah that's technically a rogue wave and most of the people in the comments are saying it that you know they got lucky that the captain realized it and decided to face down the wave instead of run parallel with it but very few people are commenting about the fact that not only did he face down the wave he sped his engine up

[@princerechebei12]

Few tips for countering rogue waves: Bigger vessels with slower speeds: Take the wave head on, keep constant power applied when cresting and apply more power when at the peek to generate forward momentum as much as possible so to not get caught in the “splash” -Medium vessels with moderate movement speeds: Try as much as possible to identify where the peek of the wave is and avoid it. Take lower side of the wave head on and apply power when cresting and more power when at peek. -Smaller vessels: try to avoid head on contact, attempt to surf the wave to the low side and crest with speed. Experienced personnel will know the weight of the vessel they operate and will generally know how to maneuver through the situation. Every scenario is different so experience and awareness of your cargo will play a huge part in these high risk situations.

You're fine as kind. Seen bigger regular waves up here lobstering in Maine. Guess that's why winters are just for the big boys. Whoever was driving your boat was a good skipper though.

It's the one woman that has tried to kill me multiple times yet I still go back to her cuz she's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

I am in the Pacific NW and often fish the Ocean, so I have been on the Ocean when these waves came through and to my constant attention to what is always happening, I've been lucky to see the waves coming then head into the waves before the wave grew and broke but other boats haven't been so lucky as I was seeing two boats wiped out.
