No Rogue waves were harmed or even filmed in the making of this video. Great job Top Generality.

I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. And may peace and calmness fill your life. 🤟

Loved hearing about Mike Parsons. His father, and biggest fan, was my Physics teacher at Saddleback College. He was very proud of his son.

I almost lost my husband to a 40ft rouge wave. We were standing on a cliff and I was back further than him. When this giant wave came up and swept over the cliff. When it pulled back, my husband was gone. I seriously thought he had been swept out to sea. All of a sudden his head popped up from below the cliff. The water had pulled him down but he was able to grab on to the side of the cliff and hold on. It was honestly nothing short of a miracle and we found out later people died in that area before.

The imagery is amazing. The voiceover made me use the mute button.

"Rogue" waves do not break on shore or reefs, they're the result of strong currents and strong winds out at sea. I believe they occur in deep channels, with strong current, where the wind is also strong and blowing in the opposite direction for some sustained period.

I was in a place where they had no waves, I was swimming with my little cousin having a good time, they turn back and see a like 15 foot wave coming for us. My first instinct was to cover my cousins mouth so I did, lifeguards had to come and get us. When I say it knocked my heavy dad down easy it really did. He was a bit closer to shore. God it was so scary, I have a fear of huge waves now, watching this to try and face it. It’s a good thing I could could my breath for a long time

I like that he explains what marriage is before we see the couple get washed away.

I'm so glad he reminded me that I don't have to worry about a wave rolling my way if I'm not near an ocean. I was about to panic.

Thanks for explaining what a wedding is, I didn't know until now, watching a video about waves.

I believe it was 1974, when I went surfing at the Oceanside Pier one early morning. There had been a very big storm, miles off-shore, a day or so before. When I got out to the beach, there was virtually no one there; it was cloudy, and a good breeze coming in. If anyone remembers, the pier was a common pole-constructed wooden pier, about a hundred yards long. On a normal 4-6ft. day, the braver of us would attempt cutting through the underside of the pier. Normally, the bottom of the pier was about 25ft. above water; however, on this day, the rollers coming in were nearly brushing the bottom of the pier about halfway along it, and occasionally breaking at pier height. It took me almost 30 minutes to paddle out beyond the rollers. I would find myself paddling nearly straight up a wall, then slamming back down the other side - just to see the next roller building up. I was furiously paddling down the backside, across the flat, then up again. Finally, I reached my wait line. Over the course of about 20 minutes, I would just ride those big rollers up and down, until I decided to take one. Well . . . that was my one and only ride of the day - actually for the week. When I dropped in, it was an elevator ride straight down with just the back foot or so of my 6'9" Harbour in the face. I peeled back up to the right, and saw the top coming over, so I kicked back the other direction just to see that collapse. All of the sudden, I found myself inside a weirdly-green, eerily quiet, translucent bubble. I said a big nope, and dived into the face. Well . . . that became the ride of my life. The wave immediately grabbed my board and dragged my ass about 50 yards underwater before it snapped my ankle leash; it then bounced me on the sandy bottom like a basketball for quite a way. I found my board on the beach, broken in two. Good times.

Clarification : The Navy didn't "create" a ship to withstand a Nuclear blast,... The Navy "sacrificed" an old ship to gauge the results and analyse whether any of their current fleet had any chance of surviving a nuclear blast.

"rogue" I do not think that word means what you think it does. There's not a single rogue wave in this entire video.

that one by nate florence is freaking insane. he’s past vertical dropping in on that massive slab. the most impossible make. so hard to stay on the board on a late power drop like that

I was a young Marine aboard a US Navy LPH (Landing Platform Helicopter) ship back in 1977 in the Bermuda Triangle returning from the Mediterranean to the USA. It was night and we got hit broadside late at night by a 40 foot rouge wave that crashed into our ship. It nearly capsized the ship. The screws came out of the water and the whole ship shook. The next day the captain came on the intercom and told us to come up to the landing deck to see the damage cause by a 40 foot rouge wave. There was a walk way made of steel just below the helicopter deck and it was bent all the way in such that you could not pass through it. Pretty scary to think about now.

he is just taking the biggest waves ever surfed at big wave surf spots like nazare and mavericks. I’m pretty sure true rogue waves don’t break on the shore like this and occur out in the middle of the ocean

I visited the beach one year. I was getting ready to take a shower and I hear someone knocking at the door and ringing the bell multiple times while shouting they need help. I immediately run over and open the door. That was a mistake. It was actually a rogue wave. It robbed me.

It's okay to walk along a beach; however, never turn your back away from it.

I know I will never catch a wave like those ones, but oh my goodness!!!!! I can imagine the rush those boarders get. It's amazing.

The waves in the north sea are spaced far apart, like most ocean waves. That's why navy ships, freighters, and other heavy-duty ships can sail safely through them. But off the west coast of Africa, there is an area where several tankers disappeared decades ago and no-one knew why. My father was a purchasing manager for Dow Chemical, and hence, he traveled extensively around the world: Europe, Australia, the gulf states, North Africa, etc. He said that a ship carrying supplies for Dow Chemical had sunk off the West African coast and researchers were coming up with a theory about giant 100 foot rogue waves and why they would form in that particular area. Eventually, their scientific work became accepted. It is believed that the waves hit the freighter broad side. But more fierce than any ocean wave, with the exception of a hurricane or tsunami, are the waves on the Great Lakes. The gale season begins in October and ends in March. These storms produce waves up to 20 feet high and that's not much on the ocean where waves can be half a mile apart. But in the Great Lakes, they are close together - measured in yards apart. This means a large ship heading into the waves can not go up and down one wave before another hits. Hence, the hull of the ship is constantly being battered. Furthermore, waves on the Great Lakes during a storm do not move in an orderly fashion. While the majority of waves are blown by the wind, waves can come from any direction and the shape of the waves can also be uneven. I've seen big white caps coming straight at the bow and then starboard a wave just leaps out of the water. I've seen waves crash into each other. It's clear why big freighters disappeared during Gale season, the most famous perhaps is the Edmund Fitzgerald - immortalized by Gordon Lightfoot. It's not uncommon for ocean-going sailors to sign-up for a Great Lakes merchant ship. Most of them don't come back after serving one season. As one sailor said, "I was never so scared in my life. You know it's serious when the crew starts doning life jackets without a command from the bridge." Unfortunately, even smaller storms, such as a quarter-gale can present enormous danger to smaller ships, and it was a sad day when a fishing boat belonging to Beaver Island Native Americans encountered difficulty and took the lives of people we considered our good neighbors. Was it a rogue wave? Possibly. These waves occur on the Great Lakes. Thank you for making such an interesting video. Very well done!

Thank you for explaining what a wedding is, i didn’t know!

thanks for explaining what a wedding is. Really needed that defined (smirk)

2:58 He attempted to pronounce that User name as one word when it’s obviously “As High As I Am” 🤣

Surfers dont go out of their way to catch rogue waves. These arent rogue waves. Nazare isnt rogue waves. Rogue waves are waves that come out of nowhere when the swell is much lower

Clearly the author needs to re read the definition of a rogue wave which has nothing to do with how big it is.

If the wave shown in the Mavericks sequence (and the main wave shown on the posted video) with all the people in the water and what looks like at least a 60 footer breaking into a massive crowd actually happened, WAY more than just 2 broken bones and a few people in the hospital would have resulted. It would be more like 200 people drowned or pulverized. Not to mention not one of the 10 waves was rogue. Click bait at best

6:55 This part kind of scared me😳 What a massive one

Nates the man. That paddle in wave at chopes was insane

I love how he pronounces the name of the person who posted number 7 as if it were stumbled upon by a camera wielding tourist from the other side of the world and not going with the obvious "as high as I am."

You forgot the ones that happen in sports stadiums where people suddenly start standing then wave for help then sit down. Please give us your top ten on that phenomenon. Also thank you for explaining what a wedding is. Next time, can you explain what breakfast is, and also a tutorial on how to walk. Thank you in advance.

That was a memorable wedding! My work colleague’s daughter got married on the beach. The tent, chairs, table, etc. were well beyond the high tide line, so they left the rented and borrowed set up overnight with the plan to pack it up and return it next morning. Naturally, they failed to check the moon phase charts because the only thing left was the remains of the tent, a bent table and two of 80 cushioned white folding chairs! The only souvenirs they have are the video, photo album, cake topper, and the chuppah which Dina insisted be put inside the house!

Parsoms just happened to have a helictoper when a rogue wave formed. Yup. You definately understand what rogue waves are. 100%

While in the NAVY in 1985 we were coming out of the Suez Canal into the Indian Ocean . Sky was clear but waters rough . I was standing watch on the bridge . It was not a rogue wave but one of the waves that hit caused the bow to go under and pop back up . Most of us young pups had not seen something like that before . The OOD just smiled and said , " That will make your asshole pucker ." Yep , those were the days .

People: How big the nuclear wave is?! Me: How much damage is done below sea level?! :(

I was on a stennaline ferry back from Ireland to UK. The waves were that big that they went over the boat and made the whole ship shudder on every wave.

WOW! Unbelievable! Stunning!

The wedding picture,I live in Nova Scotia Canada and this kills 1 person a year here. Say off the dark rocks that is where the water lives and getting back on the rock is next to impossible.

Listen to the Barney narrator try to talk about stuff he doesn’t understand. 🤣🤣🤙

I was onboard Anthem of the Seas on that storm, although I'm used with life at Ocean, it was really scary and it took like 12 hours, so crazy 😅

My Dad was present at the Bikini Atoll A-bombs. He had photos he took himself of the huge wall of water that enveloped the many ships. Days later they walked on the island with Geiger counters, he said they were going crazy

As of 5/5/2021 the highest wave ridden is now 101ft. Look it up!

The height of waves add if they pass the same location at the same time. A rogue wave can hit anywhere, because statistically eventually several waves will add up on that location. A rogue wave hit a South Korean beach in the 1990s that was 30 to 40 feet higher than expected, simply by a group of waves all hitting at one time and washing up the beach. Rogue waves can hit you if you are walking on rocks by the ocean, or walking along a lower cliff by the ocean.

Here is a cut and paste about a spot in CA. Lots of history and tragedy here. The Wedge - The Wedge is a must see spot when its on, huge waves break super close to shore putting on a death defying show for all to see. The wedge is at the very south end of Newport Beach, next to the Newport Harbor man made jetty. What makes the wedge so unique, is a south swell will push in and bounce off the rock jetty and essentially collide with another wave coming in and the energy of the two waves will create a wedge or peak that can have 15 - 20 foot faces. Some have called the wedge the best body surfing spot in the country. All this action happens right in front of the beach too, so you can sit back and watch all the action under the comfort of your beach umbrella. Mostly body surfers, skim boarders, and boogie boarders rule this part of Newport, not because they are tough guys, but because Surfers are blackballed or banned from here unless its early morning or late evening. Good luck if you decide to tackle this place. Basically only breaks in the summer, don't even bother driving all the way down here if its winter.

Nice job for the awesome dude who surfed the biggest 🌊 wave. That was so bad ass.

I'm sure he said at least 5 of these were the biggest waves ever surfed. Ever.

seems like most 'rogue' waves en up in Hawaii and Nazare. Quite interesting, because those spots also get a lot of 'normal' big waves that people surf

When anyone says “smash the subscribe button” I never do

I went to sea a lot with my late father who was in the Merchant Navy, our longest trip being when we circumnavigated the globe. Huge swells and troughs are commonplace and occasionally the ship actually corkscrews its way through rather than just pitching and yawing, it rolls too. Sometimes you cant see sky at all just massive walls of water. But I had good "sea legs" and never got sick unlike my sister who spent a long time feeling extremely ill! You find yourelf walking on bulkheads (walls) as much as floors and always got jip from the Stewards for putting wet footprints on them(walls) after they'd cleaned the floors.

I'm calling BS on the beginning of this video. That break at 0:43 is Teahupo'o in Tahiti; it's unlike any in the world, and it's thickness & weight of water is easily recognizable to anyone following the surf scene (I remember it from when Laird Hamilton was photographed riding it in 2000; that pic made the cover of Surfer magazine with the title of "Oh my God..."). The pic at 0:43 is photo shopped...

Show a nuclear test and claim it's a "rogue wave."

That's awesome wave 😍

Amazing natural phenomenon. Thanks for sharing this video. I subscribed your KZfaq channel to support your videos 👍

Why do people think they need to stand on the rocks for a pretty picture? As a CA native, I’ve seen a few incidents where a wave wipes out someone. There’s enough signs that say “danger, keep off,”yet people don’t listen.

The “wave” in the introduction was a test bomb being exploded by the Navy.

Crazy waves!!

This is EXACTLY why I’m so scared of going to the beach watching these gave me anxiety

lmfaoo this thumbnail is REDICULOUS

You DO want to take a wave bow first. If a rogue wave were to find you abeam (broadside) that would be the end. Boats and ships always head into the wind in weather like that.

So, you’re safe from large waves if you are far the coast. Amazing.

This is the best wave video I have ever seen !!! Thank you for sharing !!!

That Brazilian surfer was crazy

Just there to complement you on Photoshopping Theauopoo with a wave pool for the thumbnail! :D top tier clickbait lol

That thumbnail is wild lmao

That was super shocking!! The waves were so big I only see one a picture but maybe I will see one..

The really scary rogue waves have the sound of cellos accompanying them.

These aren't rouge waves. These are just big waves. There's a difference!

I watched the video at the end before and he was having a good time

Off the hook wave! Glad I wasn’t swimming there! 👍🐢❤️

generally saltwater crocodiles are more dangerous than 50ft waves

HAHAHAHA. OMG, that first wave is hysterical. Oh Disney, you're such a kidder.

That couple really took the plunge ...wow what a wedding story!!

THATS A WEDDING TO REMEMBER!

C'est grandiose, impressionnant, terrifiant, je me sent si petite face à ces vagues déferlantes... quel courage il faut pour affronter ces vagues monstrueuses... j'aime regarder ce spectacle, même si cela me fait peur... c'est sublime ! Merci à celui qui tient la caméra, quelle maîtrise !

Surfer travels half way around the world to catch an unpredictable rogue wave. Either the luckiest guy ever or not a rogue wave?

I usually hate clickbait pictures of the video but yours is so bad I love it.

Thanks for explaining what a wedding is.

Its so funny listening to people who don't have a clue about surfing talk about surfing.

i got just what i came for! good content

AWESOME thumbnail!! 😄🤣

The veins on these beasts - gorgeous

Ever been hit by a rogue wave? I was 6 in North Carolina with my sisters and a friend when suddenly a huge wave towered over us.Not knowing what to do I ran but was then knocked over

Mr. Top General, if you want to see a Rogue wave you best get to the Rogue River in Oregon, because there is none here. P.S. I saw Bigfoot once.

Amazing.

Wow! The power of nature.

Did this guy actually explain what a wedding is?

I live 10 feet below sea level 😬 Good thing the Netherlands got the best and most advanced water defenses in the world

I like how the waves people surf always look bigger and more dangerous than the waves you see in videos claiming to have recorded the biggest tsunamis

Coooool

#6 Wave crashes wedding wasn't a rogue wave it's called the incoming tide.

when your in a near death situation all you can do is laugh if you survive its a reaction to cheating death

Nice video that improves linearly with the reduction of volume.

Awesome, now I know what a wedding is.

Hearing a man’s voice say, “it’s a shame such a gorgeous dress was soaked in salt water” is a riddle inside a mystery wrapped in an enigma

Most aren't rogue waves. Big wave surfers watch swell forecasts, plan trips etc. Rogue sets can come thru but these aren't them. A real rogue wave is completely unexpected.

THANKS ❤

The thumbnail: “Hey buddy, I see you’re scrolling through your recommended feed. Want to see 500 people die in a few seconds?” Me: “Apparently, I do.”

Imagine you see a small little wave in the distance, and slowly it gets bigger and bigger. Then before you know it a huge cloud like thing is above your head and ready to crush you…

Haha, none of these waves were as big as the video says. It was the massive swell that made them so dangerous.

That nuclear blast doesn’t even look possible!! It is so big!!!!

Incredible storys about rogue waves and men who want nothing more than to ride them
