- Imagine you are on a sightseeing cruise, enjoying a peaceful vacation at sea. Everyone is quiet, eating in the restaurants, children playing on the slides, and adults eating something in the restaurant, when suddenly and without any warning, a huge wave 98 pies (30 meters) high, as big as a 12-story building, appears out of nowhere and hits the cruise ship sideways.
What is considered a Rebel Wave or Monster Wave?
Rogue waves are significantly bigger than the waves in the surroundings. For example, imagine a ship sailing in an area where the waves are, on average, not exceeding 16 feet (5 meters) high, and suddenly, a 49-foot (15-meter) wave appears and crashes head-on into the boat.
Sailors' Stories
Although it may seem new, Monster Waves have been present in nautical literature in different stories.
The Monster Waves in History
Throughout history, different events have been linked to gigantic waves that cause great destruction, some of them are:
Eagle Island Lighthouse (1861): Water shattered the glass of the structure's east tower and flooded it, implying a wave that exceeded the height of the 130-foot (40-meter) cliff and destroyed the 85-foot (26-meter) tower.
USS Memphis, August 29, 1916: SS Edmund Fitzgerald (1975): Was an American freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men.
M.S. München (1978): Lost at sea, leaving only scattered debris and signs of sudden damage from a wave more than 66 feet (20 meters) high. Ocean Ranger (February 15, 1982):
How to predict them
Nowadays, rogue waves are accepted as a common phenomenon and not as a myth or legend of sailors; even Professor Akhmediev of the Australian National University has claimed that there are ten rogue waves in the oceans around the world at any given time.

Ouch!!!
Sounds like chaotic behavior. Randomized constructive and destructive interference of smaller waves. Hard to model but maybe not impossible. Might make a good thesis for a climatologist.
Great video and really scary !
Just when I want to go on a cruise 🤯
Yep, Im not taking a cruise ship in my life
Rouge waves? Why are they all bleu?
That's Wavist. 😆
This isn’t really blue if you’re in the Atlantic Ocean isn’t more green than blue
@@DenyseLRoss Vert? Fewer English speakers know that word. Blue -- bleu involves another transposition.

Sur = To rise above
Letter F = Fall, Fail
