That diesel screaming right towards the wave is hardcore

bloody hell, one of the few rare videos of an actual rogue wave.

That's a legit rogue wave, especially in such calm waters

Good captain, I'd fish with them any day. There was no way that vessel could have taken that broadside. Literally saved lives.

Good job taking it head on. Waves like that will capsize a smaller boat

That's being a great Captain. Seeing it forming, starting his turn as if it were muscle memory, and turning into it immediately.

that's gotta be one of the best videos of a rogue wave

That is terrifying. Glad the captain knew what to do.

This is why some people are not meant to do certain jobs. Cause I would have sh@t myself and had a heart attack at the same time!! Glad you are alright.

As a surfer, It hard to fight the urge to spin around and ride that thing!

Awesome, and man I love that engine sound 😍😍😍

Was fishing off the Oregon coast back in the early 90s on a 50' commercial vessel and we had one come over the bow, green water, took out the windscreen, electronics, autopilot everything we cobbled things back together and limped it back in over the bar. . .it could have gone much worse. . .every fisherman's nightmare.

That actually is a rogue wave, glad cap'n has his eyes on.

For some reason, I really like the sound of that motor. Very satisfying to listen to.

Sounds like a Cat 3408, "I'm doing fine but the dog is scared shitless...."

The rogue wave must have encountered a rogue reef.

Good thing it was light enough and someone seen it coming

Handled it like a champ. Good job

Head on a swivel, stay safe brother 🙏

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.

I’ve been on the sea for over 25 years. Never seen nothing like that, are you sure this wasn’t some shallow waters? Maybe a sand bank or something?

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.

Great reaction by the Captain steering the bow right into it. Well done, Sir!

Dude this might be the best rogue wave footy ever recorded. 👌

Awsome captain he saw that wave had teeth and they showed…. I remember 2014 in November on a longliner catching cod in a storm I seen this one wave it kept growing then at the very top I saw white and was like nope ran inside just in time if I didn’t the wave would have messed me up good 😆

I’ve never been afraid of the Ocean, as I find it pretty peaceful but it’s still very unpredictable. I get why people fear it.

Good driving and keeping the crew out of harms way mad respect for the skipper at the helm did a good job and good timing

This is literally one of my greatest, mostly irrational fears. I’ve spent a ton of time on the ocean in boats but I am still terrified of open water for this reason

Good job captain glad to see there are some people that know how to handle their boats but I would imagine so being a fisherman glad to see you made it home

Thats not a rogue wave. Its tidal wave, but big swell 😊

Pilot squared away very well. Most people would turn into the wave much too quickly.

That's crazy I thought they only came in bad weather

Bro. Rarest thing in the ocean. You played it perfectly. Excellent captain

Not a Rouge wave. They are close to the beach.

That's possibly a tsunami, but if not, that is a legit high-definition. Video of a truly rogue wave. And that captain is a phenomenal pilot. He knew the only way to take a wave that size is straight on the bow.

Good on the captain, he knew what was up.

Remember, rogue waves were considered a myth and captains ridiculed for saying it until 1995.

Good job skipper 5+ years in Alaska and shit like this still scares the shit out of me. Was that a old 671 I here

People used to think they were a myth for a long time and you just casually capture one of the few true videos of a rogue wave

Where did this take place? I work on a fishing boat in New England so curious as to where.

Boat Skipper definitely is doing going head-first into that wave

Dinidat doo doo doo dnadt doo doo doo bishwo

Went out in my 26 foot Hunter sail boat. Four young people went with me (early 20"s, 3 guys and a girl). Briefed them on safety. Made sure they had life vests on and told them the vital importance of never giving in to panic - and that if we had an emergency requireing us to go into Lake Huron, we would do so calmly. Calm Captain in this video knew how to take the wave. Well done.

D-dat dododoo dat dododoo bishwo

Good job on the conn!!

Feeding the algorithm

Hear that engine purr

Good reaction Cap that could’ve been an ugly side-to slam that could’ve resulted in a capsize. Stay awesome!🤟

Rogue waves are crazy, it's like the ocean itself just went "fuck you"

Bro that video got it perfectly that wave started so fast

The Ocean: “yeah that’s just a normal wave”

This is one of those times where you accept death for a few moments, then once it’s over you look over your shoulder and chuckle

Nice save! IDK if I'm supposed to be happy, or sad that I knew you were supposed to turn into the rogue wave from video games. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Bro entered the upside down 💀

Captain did good turning into the wave.👍

That wave tried to end more than just your crab season. Keep er safe out there.

That diesel putting in the work lol

He's going through gears like it's a 5-speed!

Great job keeping your eyes open and catching that wave on such a calm day... getting the boat turned into it saved you and the crew!

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.

Captain👮 Deserves a Star⭐ And Likes

The crab: I got water… thank you

That was weird the water was smooth with no other waves. It was like a miniature tsunami

I just had a nightmare that went like this, the wave was bigger but i would be scared of this one anyways

Headed into it just in time. A seafarers saying: if you haven’t started to do it by the time you’ve thought of it, it’s probably too late.

That wave looks like it was def big enough to roll them over had it hit them broadside! Guess that's why rogue waves at night are so dangerous. They'd never see it coming!😮

Looks like a lake too. They really do come out of nowhere! Glad you guys are ok.

That escalated quickly. That really got out of hand

A1 Captain rating, full salute! That wave was probably caused by an underwater landslide typically from an earthquake.

To think that rogue waves weren't even believed to be a real phenomenon until relatively recently!

Im glad he had the sense to turn the boat into the wave at the last couple seconds

Wow and they try to say they don’t exist. So scary. I wonder how many boats/ships have gone down due to one of these huge waves, out in the middle of the ocean. Thank goodness there all safe. 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽

You got one. You actually got one. That’s insane. That’s the third possible rogue on KZfaq, probably the public internet, and this one definitely has the best perspective than the other two. Would love more context if you have it on when and where this happened to help determine if we have a real rogue here. How far off off the coast did this happen? Edit just saw the whole vid. Too close to the coast to be a rogue wave. Still that thing was freakishly out of place.

Those Rogue waves are such a mystery too. Good save

That turbo diesel power sounds beautiful

Brother saw the wave knew exactly what to do. True seaman. No fear, no hesitation, just action and action alone.

Woah. I think this might be the first video of a true rogue I’ve ever seen.

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. I knew everything was going to be fine as soon as he got her bow too. Jogged the throttle's perfectly and everything. The ocean is a foul temptress. 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'm glad you saw that and made the necessary correction. Imagine if it was during the night out of nowhere.

This is the best video exemple of a rogue wave. Now imagine it's 1760 and you don't have a fast turning ship with a diesel engine.

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.

scary stuff, I fish on small boat and never seen one like that, not cool. Good job!

It takes a skilled helmsman to see how big that wave was from how far away it was

I'm guessing a tectonic plate shifted somewhere along the sea floor... That water was so calm for a wave like that to just appear!

A great skipper is always on the ball. 💯

One of the most incredible videos on youtube

I spent the first 15 years or so afloat telling people that "rouge waves" were just poor excuses for mistakes, poor navigation and exaggeration. That all changed when early one oddly calm morning in the north atlantic I was nearly capsized by one. Never been so frightened in my life as I saw it rolling towards port side. 😬

It felt like he went of a jump ramp and went airborne for a sec

thats legit scary, offshore worker for 15 years here

The turbo spooling up tho

That turbo diesel getting it done

Driver was a boss. Holy shit that was huge looking

That beautiful Detroit sounds so good

As soon as I saw that wave starting to break, I knew it was gonna get wet. Good thing the captain acted like he’d been there before.

Dang man your ship/boat got diesel motors on them LOL

Thats a major sign of a tsunami thats gonna hit shore.

That wave tried to end more than just your crab season!! What a perfect/horrifying example of a rogue wave.... Sheesh guys

Experienced captain no time to waste and people think operating a vessel is easy farther from the truth mother nature is a force not to reckon with 🤔 give her the respect she deserves

Thats crazy.. ocean so calm and a rogue wave that big 😮
