Global warming caused that wave. If they haven’t said it yet, they will.

a single solar powered buoy, which samples wave conditions for 20 minutes every three hours.

Only God knows what rolled through the rest of the time.

If that wave was breaking and caught you the wrong way, it could capsize a 200' boat.

Yep.

I experienced a 12 Beaufort storm once (winds were over 80 mph, with waves over 30 feet) on a cruise ship (Brilliance of the Seas) in the Mediterranean. It was pretty spectacular, to say the least. The ship handled it fine, and I enjoyed the adventure of it all. Tried to capture video from our balcony on Deck 9, but even that high up there was so much spray in the air that I didn’t dare get near the railing with my camera or it would have been waterlogged in an instant.

Prior to that experience, I never would have thought that storms could get that severe in the Mediterranean.

This may be the largest one recorded by their equipment, but the largest one reported was by the USS Ramapo back in 1933 at 112 feet.

When the Malaysian airliner disappeared southwest of Australia several years ago, a You Tube video was posted of a very large tanker-type vessel sailing through a storm in the southern Indian Ocean.

Completely awesome waves!

From memory, the bow of the ship had about 35 feet of free board, and waves were breaking 10 feet over the bow rail, and washing almost half way across the deck to the pilot house, which was at the extreme rear of the vessel.

The ship was unbelievably stable, but that experience had to be really unnerving for the crew.

My step-brother flew off the Eisenhower for 12 years and told me a story about catching a wave broadside in the Atlantic that tipped the ship so far to one side it actually hung there for about 5 seconds before it began to right itself. He said it was the quietest 5 seconds he ever experienced on the ship, followed immediately by the noisiest 60 seconds of whoops and cheering and shouting that he had ever heard.
