How big is a rogue wave?

Rogue waves can vary in size, but they are typically defined as waves that are substantially larger than the surrounding waves. They can reach heights of 80 feet (24 meters) or more, posing a significant threat to ships and offshore structures. Rogue waves are unpredictable and their exact size can vary depending on the conditions in which they form.


What are the similarities between rogue waves and tsunamis?

Rogue waves and tsunamis are both large and powerful oceanic phenomena, but they differ in their causes and characteristics. Rogue waves are isolated, exceptionally large waves that can occur in any body of water, often due to constructive interference of smaller waves. Tsunamis, on the other hand, are long-period sea waves typically generated by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Despite their differences, both rogue waves and tsunamis can pose significant risks to maritime activities and coastal communities due to their destructive potential.


What causes a rogue wave and what is the damage and wavelength of a rogue wave?

Rogue waves are caused by the interference and combining of different wave systems, leading to a sudden and large wave. They can cause significant damage to ships and offshore structures due to their unexpected size and force. Rogue waves can have wavelengths of around 100-500 meters, making them much larger than surrounding waves.


Can a wave happen in the middle of the ocean like in the movie Poseidon 2006?

While rogue waves can occur in the ocean, the exaggerated large wave depicted in the movie "Poseidon" is not a realistic portrayal of ocean waves. Rogue waves are extremely rare and unpredictable, typically happening in specific oceanic conditions and not in a continuous stream as shown in the movie.


What is the difference between a tidal wave and a rogue wave?

A tidal wave (AKA a Tsunami) is caused by an earthquake. It is more of a wall of water and a rise of sea level. when a tidal wave is coming, water will be sucked out from shore rapidly. Tidal waves usually aren't more than 3 feet in open water because in open water it is usually more than 600 feet deep. Rogue Waves can occur in open water and aren't usually caused by earthquakes but just waves that build up. Rogue waves come undetected. Tidal waves have signs. Both are huge in size, up to 100+ ft. Tidal Waves tend to crash on shore while Rogue Waves are violent waves in open water.
