My father, who was a merchant marine, told me that he had experienced a 100 foot wave in the south China Sea in the late 1940s. He said it was a miracle that they survived

[@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive]

a 100 foot hill is a small hill. Waves dont break in the middle of the ocean. I get that its scary cuz its not normal, but waves have pretty gentle sides. You go up, you come down. No big deal.

You missed the most important point about the Draupner wave - its waveform. It had a deep trough in front of it, a much steeper than normal front face and a trough on its trailing edge. Combined with its size this wave shape makes it far more dangerous than a normal wave form - ships tend to "fall" into the front trough and then get hit by an almost vertical wall of water (hence the "hole-in-the-ocean" comment). Ships are normally built to withstand pressures of up to 30 tons per square meter from waves but this particular wave form (and not just the extra size) contributes to pressures on ship structures of up to (and over) 100 tons per square meter. Little wonder ships simply disappear...

I would say that I wouldn't put it past our filthy guvt to ve CREATING these w the technology they have been using. We haven't had ANY God given wether the last 20 plus yrs. I have been a targeted individual the last 30 years, and every American needs to HEAR MY STORY, because what the monsters did to ME, they are now doing to YOU ALL. When the criminal harassment by agents started in 87-88, they had a legit right to watch me. At the time, I was young and wild and dating a drug dealer. I stopped dating him and stopped all drug use in 88, but the harassment never stopped. They have tapped every phone, hacked every computer and criminally and repeatedly entered every home i have lived in during these years since. I now don't leave my home unless I hire a house sitter because the filthy agents refuse to STAY OUT OF MY HOME. I couldn't understand for years, WHY they were targeting me. I'm married, don't do anything illegal and am a Christian since 94. It wasn't until 2018 that I knew WHY. I was sick with a skin disorder that I am now convinced was another bioweapon being tested on us. I was examining my skin with a magnifier when i found strange, matching sets of holes in my inner wrists and knees. They looked like tiny tunnels, but couldn't be seen with the naked eye. I had no idea how they got in my skin, and I hadn't seen any doctors or taken any shots in years. So I got out a sterile needle and opened up those holes and took samples from them and viewed it under my microscope. (A hobby I have had many years.) I was speechless at what I found. I t was a clear, COMPUTERIZED GEL, and it was laid out in a ladder shaped grid system, that had tiny rice shaped batteries around it's outer perimeter. It had pine tree shaped antennas that had perfectly symmetrical branches with metallic looking little balls on the tip of every branch. It was slowly collapsing it's structure as it cooled to room temperature. I had never seen anything like it in my life. Finding this tech in my body explained many things I had wondered about the last twenty years. It explained why I heard a man's voice in my head sometimes. It explained why he pretended to be GOD that the things he said weren't always Godly. It explained why things got moved or hidden from me during my sleep, and why I was WATCHED CONSTANTLY through my OWN EYES. The FILTHY, DISGUSTING, LOWLIFE MONSTERS HAD HACKED MY BRAIN, and it was WORSE THAN RAPE! I told my local chief of police, when I reported finding it, that at least a woman can HEAL after being raped. There is no 'healing' from this, according to what Elon Musk says in his videos. He sells this stuff, though I cannot imagine why ANYONE in their right mind would EVER want it!! I found a picture of it right on DARPA'S website, under Obama Brain Initiative. I KNEW what would be in the vax when they said one was coming, and unfortunately, I was right. Dr Carrie Madej, and Dr Ricardo Delgado were some of the first to identify it in the shots. It's also in the masks/tests, and swabs, and NOW they are putting it in our FOOD/BEV AND MILK!!! I am here to tell you that this absolutely EVIL tech from HELL is FAR MORE than 'gene therapy'!!! It lets the filthy monsters see and hear every thought we have! It lets them talk to us mentally. It lets them even TAKE OVER OUR BODY during certain stages of sleep, and use OUR BODY to do whatever they WANT TO, and we have little or no memory of it, much less any CONTROL OVER IT! PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE SICK FREAKS ARE DOING TO US, and they MUST be stopped! I wouldn't do this to an ANIMAL, because even animals have a RIGHT to have PRIVATE THOUGHTS between them and GOD. They are also now putting this tech in all animal shots as well, HACKING ALL LIVING THINGS, so they can be REMOTE CONTROLLED by the sick freaks WHO THINK THEY ARE GOD! THIS TECHNOLOGY IS STRAIGHT OUT OF HELL ITSELF and the monsters MUST be held accountable for what they have done and are continuing to do! NOBODY HAD A RIGHT TO DO THIS TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE! NOBODY! EVER! The filthy monsters have been in MY BED, MY BATH, and MY BRAIN, the last TWENTY YEARS! Watching me through MY OWN EYES, while I bathed, changed clothes, any and everything, they SAW IT. HOW WOULD YOUI FEEL ABOUT BEING RAPED THIS WAY? I sure hope you didn't take the shots, use the other things, and God forbid you been drinking any MILK!! This stuff is called NEURAL LACE/HYDROGEL. Graphene oxide and polymer based tech that is straight out of Hell itself. Musk says it attaches to nerves and grows INTO the brain, and that it is PERMANENT. I pray to God he is wrong because I truly want my HUMANITY BACK! And he is LYING when he says that it cannot be injected through a normal needle, because it CAN if it is cold enough. It SHRINKS when it gets cold. It also doesn't need a CHIP, either, because it could easily make it's OWN! The stuff acts ALIVE in the body. Absolutely fascinating to watch. I will gladly answer any questions you may have. These monsters love to torture and kill helpless, innocent little animals and the freaks tortured and killed FOUR of my greatly loved little dogs. The last one, my favorite, was tortured EVERY MONTH for over NINE YEARS, before we busted the agents using our CELL PHONE to put out the frequencies that were CAUSING those seizures. We busted them RED HANDED, and there is no denying what they are doing. They finally killed him Thanksgiving Day of 22, after making him go BLIND, causing organ failure, and shocking him every couple hours the last two days, till he couldn't hold out any more, and died in my arms. People, please don't sleep by anything digital, and keep your animals away from them as well! We also busted them hacking our washer/dryer outlet, and gas stove, so keep your appliances UNPLUGGED when not using them! If you hear an device making a strange or unusual sound, BLOCK IT by coughing, whistling, clapping, etc. and shut the device off FAST AS POSSIBLE.

My Father was on a navy ship traveling to Tokyo late in 1945. While standing on the bridge, he observed waves up to 85 feet high. He knew his height above the water, and using trigonometry, calculated their magnitude. He was a physicist with a EE degree and was not the type to exaggerate. It occurred during a typhoon they were in.

[@yummysatay]

with Trillions of $$ spent on military equipments, a fraction could have been used to develop advanced sonar mappings of the ocean floor world wide. This same technology could be used to search wrecks such as MS München. We can probably learn quite a bit from this particular wreck, at least what cause its mysterious sinking.

[@johnarnold893]

Before satellites there used to be a couple of weather ships that stationed off the west coast of BC about 500 miles out there at Station Papa. He said his berth was 80 feet above the water line and they used to take green water at that height. The North Pacific can be serious weather.

I never imagined how catastrophic waves could be until last year when the flash floods hit a local city in my country Derna Libya. The collapse of a dam led to a freak wave that not only wiped 5 grand bridges but also killed thousands of people in less than an hour. I saw tsunami and flood damages before but to see it completly uproot entire apartment buildings of 10 stories high made out of sturdy concrete was a reality check on how much powerful water can really be

I was a fisherman on the Atlantic a few years ago.We were fishing in the St-Lawrence Gulf. I remember how terrifying it was. I was but a wee lad at the time, maybe 19 years old? The Atlantic is a cold, murderous place. Rogue waves are not only real, but they happen all the time, and when you're on a ship while it happens, you will definitely know. Old fishermen know about them, and I've seen with my own eyes waves 60 feet tall along the coast of Anticosti Island. We were at sea for 9 weeks. When I came back I told myself I would never do that again. The next time I worked a fishing boat, we were dragging lines for Albacore in the mud flats of San Pablo Bay in California. Much better.

This video explains an occurrence that I saw when going 15 plus miles offshore fishing for mackerel out of New York waters in early March of 1973. I was on a on a boat called the Betty W II there was a 100 foot steel party boat called the Amberjack a few miles in front of us on rout to the West Farms. The ocean was flat and and suddenly the Amberjack disappeared for a moment and reappeared. I was in the cabin looking out facing the front window when all of a sudden the bow of the Betty W went straight down into this huge deep hole in a flat sea it was like the bow of the boat went straight down into a waterfall when we hit the bottom the boat shot straight back up unharmed. This wasn't a protruding wave, it was a deep cut of water on a flat ocean... In all these years I never saw anything like it again, but it was one hell of a scary roller coaster ride to say the least !!!!!

[@brandieling309]

I cannot even imagine how you felt at this exact moment in your life's journey. How do you get back up and go back on the ocean again and again after this type of an experience? So was it like the water was just missing all of a sudden , like you ran your ship off of a massive water cliff or was your ship under the water as well before you hit the bottom and popped back up and how was there no dmg done to your ship? Your story is as fascinating as it is terrifying.

[@franktheo2055]

I was about 15 years old going offshore for mackerel . The 100 foot Amberjack was a few miles ahead and disappeared and came up. I was on the Betty W II a 70 foot party boat, and we went straight down into this cut of water, I was in the cabin looking straight out the window I saw the bow of the boat hit the bottom and shot straight up like a rocket. I was a young pup back around 1973/74 and always wondered what that was it happened so fast until I saw this video 🛥. IT WAS LIKE BEING ON A ROLLERCOASTER ON A FLAT CALM OCEAN. WEARD. !

[@jimj2683]

I was a fisherman in the North Sea when I was younger. Some of the waves I saw out there scared me onto land forever. I still have nightmares to this day. No ship could possibly survive those rogue waves. My older colleagues (including the captain) told of rogue waves 120ft+ breaking violently in the middle of the sea and sounding like freight trains. I read that the highest theoretical wave height with the current models is about 200ft. I guess it is limited by wind speed, because in the wave simulation pools they can make waves virtually as high as they want. Like towers of 1km+. It could even explain why low flying planes crashed in the Bermuda triangle. I know they record wave heights some places, but I wish they had swarms of small solar powered drone boats that could roam the seas and find the real monsters. If they could record them on video, that would break the internet and nobody would ever go on a cruise ship again...

[@jeremyh344]

There was a video a couple months ago from CNN or the weather channel i believe and they actually had some kind of drone boat they sent out into a hurricane this year and it's pretty epic, you should Google it.

[@brad144k]

That 🌊 could explain some of the disappearances at the Bermuda Triangle. But the main reason I'm sure planes go missing is the sudden down draft of air/wind. There is said to be like an energy vortex there. It creates a funnel/drain and can sink ships! 😳 A similar phenomenon happens in the skies as well. Pilots have said they've been forced down hundreds of feet In seconds from air currents! Has to do with that vortex IMO!!

[@midi1529]

Ive been a surfer for 50 years. A wave can double up with another wave and double and triple in height right there in front of you when 2-3-4 waves just all combine.

I can tell the scientists who thought waves follow harmonic waveforms never spent much time with a boogeyboard or surfboard.

In 1984, my Navy ship, a small ASW frigate, was caught in a hurricane in the Atlantic. At one point, a huge wave literally put us on our side! I found myself literally standing on the bulkhead, the door to my ET office at my feet. Opening it, I looked DOWN into the office. Then, with a shake my plucky little ship slowly righted herself. I still feel we should have sunk that night. We would have been another "disappearance". I guess God had other plans for us. My ship still exists, as a museum display ship.

They are real. Been there, done that, but my ship survived. We saw another small ship, the USCGC Bear in the early 1980s, went through a huge wave. She was, for a thankfully brief moment, a submarine. The wave totally engulfed her head on, ripped all the stanchions from the deck, tore away the fiberglass cover of her main gun, and the front of the superstructure was set back several inches! We saw her just after, on her way to her homeport for repair.

It happens a lot more often than 10,000 years, within the last 10 years it's a phenomena that has been studied more closely in specialized indoor wave generating facilities to figure out how and why it happens.

When I was in my early 20's, my family went to Ventura Beach in California. My parents and son were on the shore and I waded probably 30 yards off shore. To my surprise, the water only came up to my bottom. I turned to see my dad on the beach with my son who were both waving at me, so I waved back. My dad started frantically pointing behind me. When I turned, there was a 12 to 15 foot wave at my back. Everything hit just right, luckily, all I could think to do was jump up and the wave caught me with my head above water and carried me quite gracefully back to shore. Although, I love the ocean, I don't turn my back on it, anymore. Not even in the Puget Sound, which is where we live now.

[@ianbelletti6241]

California is known for its large waves. 12 to 15 foot sounds pretty common for there. I'm used to the east coast and have ridden plenty of waves back into shore just for fun. Where I live now, some of our local beaches have sand bars about 50 to 100 feet off the beach which reduces wave height further.

I live up on the north coast, near Fort Bragg. Between here and Crescent city, we get those sneaker waves all the time. Tourists get caught out on the rocks when they hit, and get sucked in and drown. You can study the waves for a half hour, and be convinced your path along the rocks is safe, but then one wave hits that engulfs everything. Combined with rup tides, they dont stand a chance. There have been a few really stupid accidents, where peoples dogs get washed out, and they go in after the dog. The people drown but the dog lives. Theres signs everywhere to not try to save your dog. They have far more endurance than a human, and somehow arent as susceptible to the rip tides. It happens every year.

[@ianbelletti6241]

Both rogue wave theories depend on an additive process. On top of that, a lot of big storms have rotating wind patterns. The rotating winds means that you're dealing with waves running multiple directions. It's no surprise that you can have 2, 3, or 4 waves aligning just right from different directions to add enough energy to each other to create a rogue wave.

[@garrettroberts7937]

These are not known as rogue waves as they are expected and common in high wind storms. What you are referring to is called spike waves and have a much higher frequency in extreme conditions. Although the science is similar Rogue waves are a much different animal and occur at a much lower frequency in mild, normal or any conditions which is why they were thought to be a myth for so long. They are unpredictable. Spike waves are very predictable with the major variables being wind speed and direction in relation to current. Example. If a winter storm rolls through Cape Horn with a forecasted wind speed of over 70 knots. It’s a guarantee the average wave height will be upwards of 40 feet with wave spikes as high as 80 feet or more. Those are extremely high waves but they are not rogue waves.

[@ianbelletti6241]

Great information, I knew about most, but learned about a few more types of waves. One additional piece of information: almost all these waves are indeed the transfer of energy through the water and the water itself only undulates vertically; except for tsunamis, those actually transfer a large amount of water linearly (or rather circular outward from the point of origin), which has two very distinctive effects: they grow in height only close to shore where they have to keep moving the same amount of water-volume over the ever shallower seabed, and secondly they don't "stop" at the shore, but keep flowing all that water inland (sometimes kilometers)

[@steevelapointe1152]

I was once scaling a rock face along a beach with a friend. I heard a roaring sound behind me and spun to see a wave towering me. I was about 10 feet above the other waves, which were easily close to 10 feet tall already. Fortunately, I managed to tuck my head onto my arm and grab a crack as it hit me and completely submerged me. When the water fell back down I scrambled so fast up that cliff I felt like a cartoon character. Probably one of the scariest moments of my life. Makes for a fun and epic story now though.

This is not a rogue wave but a trough story. We were sailing down the coastline from Canada to SFO. We were fine as we were well out to sea. Other sailors did not go out as far as us and were caught in a storm - terrifying some of their crew who called MAYDAY - while the Captain/owner was deploying a drogue off the bow. So the Coast Guard helicopter came and they were obliged to abandon the sailboat, get into the water and then put themselves into a lowered basket to be lifted aloft. When we met up with the Captain in SFO, he said as he climbed into the basket - at the top of a trough - he was looking DOWN on the TOP of his 70ft mast - that’s how deep was the trough - his sailboat at that moment in the bottom of the trough. Those are massive wave formations. PS He later, at great expense, found and retrieved his boat - it was quite happily bobbing along - undamaged. Cheers. S

I crossed the Atlantic from Southhampton, England to New York on a small Cunard liner in the late summer of 1969. It was stormy for 3 full days and the seas were huge. I grew up sailing and I loved to be on the water, so while just about everybody else was done in by the turbulence, I went to the stern of the ship and rode up and down, holding onto the railing. Sometimes I was weightless when the ship sank into a trough, and often I could look up through the beautiful green waves against the stormy sky. I'd guess that the waves averaged 40 feet. Needless to say, this was _incredibly_ foolish! But wonderful. Finally, after a few hours, one of the crew noticed me and made me come inside. Though I was bummed, he might have saved my life.

Currents moving in opposite directions, where there are islands off the coast of a larger land mass causes a speeding up of these currents, add wind and waves gaining each other's energy and this can happen. That is why it happens off the coast of South Africa and off the coast of South America. If you want to observe this phenomenon on a smaller scale, fill a bath tub up about halfway with water and then stir the water in as best a circle as you can, with a cupped hand, staying as far outside the perimeter as you can and once you get the water moving good, take your hand out and watch how the water moving opposite on each side of the tub begins to affect the waters in the middle. Every once in a while, you will see a rogue wave, larger than the rest. Now think of the trade winds moving from east to west near either side of the equator, but then the jet stream is moving the opposite direction (see typical weather pattern across the US), now imagine how the opposing winds over time will begin to behave similar to how I described in the bathtub experiment above.

The liner Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mary's bigger sister) experienced 5 rogue waves in her lifetime. She was extremely lucky every time to be facing the the waves, each of which swept over the bridge all the way aft. It was lucky too that they struck very early in the morning when no one was outside on deck. I believe the Queen Mary suffered two or three, the QE2 also. On a U-Tube video about freak waves, one crew member from the QE2 wrote in the comments about his experience.

[@peterburgess5974]

Off the west coast of the British Isles, winter storms create destructive waves, while during spring and summer, waves are generally constructive. It is a repeating cycle in many areas and one which maintains an equilibrium. This happens as a result of the discrepancy between the wash and backwash (rip), caused by the amount of energy and frequency of those waves. The observations at Achill are a result of an assault by destructive waves and their reappearance is due to the beach-building effects of constructive waves. If you visit many such beaches, regardless of whether they are composed of pebble or sand, their morphology is very different throughout the year. During winter, beaches typically display a morphology with a berm crest and a steep seaward slope, eroded by severe wash and rip currents that remove material out to sea. The opposite happens when seas are less forceful, and this is the time beach building occurs during cycles of constructive waves. I hope this information is useful and that you can investigate it to better explain what happens in some particular areas on seaward-facing, oceanic land masses at higher latitudes. Ad altiora!

[@PaulRiley-ev9it]

Structures in the Central to Northern North Sea have been designed to resist up to 30 metre high waves since the late nineteen seventies, depending on the actual location (UK published max wave height contour map for 50yr return period for guidance). Max wave heights derived statistically for a return period from 12hrs storm data. These waves are non linear, non-gaussian, being steeper. There have been good pictures of other large waves at NS platforms, but they seem harder to track on the internet now. Many platforms including Conoco Hutton had operational wave height measurement systems. From satellite observations it seems that actual now so called "rogue waves" are known to be more common than generally though and their mechanics getting to be better understood, hopefully to the benefit of ship design. Other risks occur in the shallower Southern North Sea where more moderate waves can break well offshore such as the Dogger Bank, 160km offshore and min depth 15m. A friend told me that he had observed the sea bed there in a storm. Mariners charts at reef locations world-wide can carry the caption: "waves break here during severe storms." Small(ish) boats fishing reefs can be caught out by the arrival of isolated swell waves that shoal up. There is an interesting case described in the wonderful Shore Protection Manuals published US Corp. of Engineers (free online). It describes the destruction of a harbor in the US destroyed twice when waves approached from a certain heading, focused by a subsea obstruction enroute to the harbor. (waves are focused on headlands, or subsea features of similar characteristics, and dissipated in bays. Of course waves shoal and increase in height when they feel the bottom, until they break). And then there are tsunamis, which are now fully on our radar since the subduction fault slip earthquakes from 2004 Sumatra and 2011 Fukishima incidents. Great detective work by geologists has determined that the Cascadia Fault is a risk of similar magnitude to West Coast North America. Then there are landslip events in Fjords, offshore islands like La Palma, and subsea continental shelf slips potential such as the the one after the last ice age in Norway considered to have wiped out Doggerland, on the Dogger Bank, then above sealevel. For more excitement one can look up "sensitive soils," or "quick clays," in Norway, left in an unstable state after the last ice age, just waiting for the salts that cement them in an open structure to be washed out, whence they collapse to state with a consistency akin to whipped cream according to descriptions. Is nowhere safe? How exciting is the earth! Always use a qualified and experienced professional to design important stuff!

[@mournblade1066]

I don't understand how scientists didn't believe waves could exceed thirty feet in height, when there are CLEARLY visible waves WAY higher than that right off the shores of California (60'+ at Mavericks), Hawaii (60'+ at Pe’ahi, aka Jaws), and Portugal (80'+ at Nazare, possibly even over 100').

Similar to how the right sound frequency can cause increasing distortions in glass. Except with water, there is no solid shape to harshly limit the energy growth.

I believe that was based on the math that was done up to that time including factors such as max wind speeds. Though it seems to me that if you already had dozens or hundreds of eyewitness accounts that once every 10,000 years would necessarily discount all of those. As with so many things in science, the prevailing wisdom is largely based on scenarios along the lines of "Hey, is there life on the ocean floor?" the prevailing wisdom is "How could there be? it's too dark and too much pressure." until someone asks, 'But did you go look?" and when the technology to go look becomes available and we go look the prevailing wisdom needs to be tossed out, and with the new data discovered, then the explanations of where and how life can exist get updated. Same thing here - all the math in the world doesn't matter if you are missing key factors that define the equations necessary for your model to match reality.

Back in the mid 1970s I was stationed on a US Navy ship. We were stationed at the North SAR (Sea & Air Rescue) station. That was our location in the North China sea. A rather strong typhoon built up and traveled into our location. We were experiencing 50-foot waves that worked very hard to attempt to capsize us. For 4 days rolled and tossed in that storm. Unless you had mandatory duties, your off-duty time was spent in a passageway with your back on one bulkhead and your feet braced in the opposite bulkhead. During that time I had 3 8-hour bridge watches as the officer of the deck. During one of those watches we were rolled 26° to starboard. If we had not been hit by a similar monster wave that stood us back up, we would have capsized. Fortunately, we had only 7 sailors injured. On that 4th day I was tossed down a ladder into our birthing space. Ended up messing up my left knee which ended up requiring surgery. I will never forget that storm or the attempt by nature to make up a rusting pile of steel on the ocean floor. P.S.

I knew about the three sisters... however, I had never heard that that is what hit the Edmund Fitzgerald... I really wonder how they can know that! Pretty sure she did not report in after getting hit...

[@hcrawford]

From my study of what happened- I believe that the Fitzgerald encountered waves past Caribou Island, resulting in deep wave troughs that slammed the ship into the lake floor, rupturing the keel.

There is a bit wrong here 'bout Freak-/RogueWaves : 1) Draupner platform measured wave went down the platform without causing any damages. 2) Its well known, how Freak-/RogueWaves come to life. 3) The easy "Linear-Schrödinger-Equation" is from the past. The occurrence can be well explained by us with the much more complex "NonLineear-Schrödinger-Equation". 4) There are areas where such waves are more often but they can appear almost everywhere.

[@alt7244]

As a young child, I had a recurring dream. I was in a horseshoe shaped cove with cliffs on three sides that seemed to be 200ft tall. Suddenly, I'd see a wave as big as the cliffs coming right at us .. then I'd wake up.

Sounds like "1958 Lituya Bay earthquake and megatsunami" in Alaska. Give it a Google.

[@AmeliaRomanov]

Rough waves can sink anything no matter the size a Rouge wave can tower up to 150 feet tall the mv dobbyshire and the Edmund Fitzgerald were also victims of such devastating waves capable of ripping a ships bulkheads and hull wide open

It's a rare confluence of wave energy coming form different directions coinciding in one place with coinciding phases and possibly? frequencies. The ocean is essentially an unbounded resonator so many frequencies can be present at once and with many different phase relationships.

I almost got washed to sea on a destroyer. The sound of the wave sounded like a monster. When it hit me I held a rail and went horizontal for 30 secs. Felt like being water boarded.

[@pi79lambda]

Here in catalonia we have to refill beaches with sand before the summer season because a lot of them are washed away by waves on the winter. it is done with rlly cool ships that shot the sand back from the deeps of the shore.

I didn’t know a few of these facts, happy to learn some new things!

[@pattisweet9780]

What about the rogue waves off the coast of Portugal? Surfers use them to get super records. Highest wave a surfer has been accurately recorded riding was around 80 feet tall!

[@gojewla]

They aren’t rogue. They happen fairly regularly. In fact, it’s believed that this phenomenon is caused by an underwater canyon, which intensifies the heigh of these waves.

My dad used to be a fisherman he told me a story about his boat that he was on almost capsized when it got broadsided by at least a 50 footer

[@InMaTeofDeath]

That wave detection tech sounds like the sort of thing an AI might be good at.

[@bobbywhite1152]

The ocean floor is much deeper in an area like a trench or canyon, causing waves bigger than surrounding waves. Surfers in Portugal, California Australia and Hawaii know what I'm saying

In the 1990s I worked in The Netherlands for a gas producing company. Most of the production was offshore in the North Sea, that is typically around 30m deep. Most of the platforms at the time were unmanned (now all) designed to withstand the 100 year wave. This required a gap of 17m between mean high tide and the lowest deck. On a night in about 1998 theer was a storm with a north-westerly gale that coincided with an exceptionally high tide. The wind pushed the sea southwards causing flooding in the East of England before arriving at thr Dutch & German coasts. One gas platform was almost wiped out, the lowest deck having been stripped of all its machinery and the higher decks very severly damaged. No other platform in the vicinity sustained significant damage. the conclusion reached was that the hugh mas of water hitting the Dutch/German coastlines (that form a kind of arc) had rebounded and that 3 waves had met just at the point of this one platform. Design criteria were subsequently revised and de-manning by automation accelerated.

I think you mentionimg of rebounding off the coastline is a great point to note

[@johnrichmond7739]

I served on an amphibious assault ship when I was the Navy. I remember seeing huge waves. They didn't qualify as rogue waves, but they caused my ship to do some wicked nose dives. Personal standing watch on the bridge wing (90 feet above the waterline) were washed off their feet.

[@cathybaldry7822]

With the three sisters I wonder if studies have been done on mapping the features on the bottom of Lake superior. I think a combination of the many wave physics theories you discussed are what are contributing to the phenomena of rogue waves

Thank you for this video. It may answer a few mysteries, perhaps.

Very informative. Had me wanting to learn more, thanks

[@marknaegele1726]

In the late 70's my Navy ship, an FF hit 2 of these. (years apart)1 at night, What a ride!! the 2nd : we amed into it, rose up and over, (a lot of the Bow out of the water) then we plunged down streight through the less larg wave behind it. green water went over the signal bridge.

[@ashleya3731]

Its crazy that rogue waves were likely known and documented by local and indigenous people and fishers, but the collonizer leaders didn't listen, and now scientists are learning it again

[@laurabutler6253]

So right! In coastal Mississippi they stopped oyster harvesting, the government was in charge of it, they also failed miserably, and now they have turned it over to private ownership and its returning. The irony is that they are turning to the native Americans who were excellent stewards of oyster farming. So now they're studying sites and finding oyster shells in ashes etc. looking to the ancient native Americans for help. You know the ones they chucked out onto the trail of tears. So imagine that, throwing them out sending them on a hellish journey, then later, sheepishly digging through their ashes for desperately needed answers.

[@andreaspaetsch2629]

Even if they could make this radar device, that could predict rogue waves in minutes, would that actually help super tankers and cruise ships at all? Doesn't it take pretty long for ships like that to change course, giving the crew not much more than just a few more minutes to brace and hope for the best? The smaller ships though might get some advantage out of it, I guess?

[@gojewla]

It would be easier to survive if the ship turns to face the wave, rather than being hit sideways, which is a weaker part of the structure, and also more easily flips the ship.

[@andreaspaetsch2629]

@@gojewla That I actually know but I was still wondering if a big ship like that could in worst case turn 90 degrees in a matter of a few minutes. But I actually found out that I should take only about 3 minutes, even faster with more speed, which I guess shouldn't be a problem on open sea. I was under the misconception that big ships like that would need about 10 to 15 minutes for a 90 degrees turn. So OK, it could definitely help them. Good to know. Thanks for your answer. 😊👍
