Ever imagined a wave so wild it shows up once every 1,300 years? That’s what scientists recorded off the coast of Canada—a rogue wave towering nearly 18 meters high, in seas that were surprisingly calm. It lifted a buoy 58 feet into the air like we were playing peek-a-boo with the ocean. In this video, we’re diving into how this freak-of-nature wave was detected, what made it so extreme, and why it matters to you, sitting on your beach chair worrying about sea level rise or coastal storms. We’ll walk through how rogue waves go from myth to data, the physics behind these monsters, and whether your next vacation by the shoreline needs a little more caution.
