It is being referred to as an occasion that occurs “as soon as in a millennium” as final week researchers revealed a scientific report that discovered a wave measuring 17.6 metres — as excessive as a four-storey constructing — was recorded off the coast of B.C. in November 2020.
Researchers say it is probably the most excessive rogue wave ever recorded and was measured off the coast of Vancouver Island, close to Ucluelet, B.C., by Victoria-based MarineLabs Knowledge Techniques.
Rogue waves are these with greater than double the peak of the waves at present taking place round them. In response to MarineLabs, they can be often called “freak” or “killer waves” on account of their surprising nature and given their dimension, will be very harmful. Kylie Stanton experiences on the wave and whether or not it posed a hazard to the shoreline.

The god Poseidon’s will
Shouldn’t have this event created a “mini” tsunami on the coast of Uclulet?
Just saying
Kind of surprised they didn't blame global warming for this one
The information is just irritating. A bit of Google research shows that it's by far not the biggest wave ever recorded. Maybe on this coast. And its not like that it only happens so seldom. That's just false.
And that's only what's on record. I was on a car ferry once, back in the 80s, from France to Ireland, that was blown hundreds of miles off course by a sudden storm. And in that storm, I was young and dumb enough to defy the captain's order to remain inside and instead went out on deck and lashed myself with a handy rope against a convenient bulkhead. The waves we rode through were maybe half the size of this one–20 meters from top to trough–but even that was enough to make up seem like down and very nearly floundered us (and certainly would have if the crew hadn't managed to turn us directly into the breaking waves at the very last moment.) I have been in tornadoes, avalanches, blizzards and floods, etc, over the course of 60+ years, but I have never witnessed any power or fury like that of an angry ocean. And, okay, I've never experienced a volcanic eruption up close, but a) who has and lived to tell the tale? and b) that's not weather.
Test run for when the woodpecker grid gets activated?
Mother nature scary
On 1995 on the first day of the new year, a nearly 26-meter-high wave (85 feet) suddenly struck an oil-drilling platform roughly 160 kilometers (100 miles) off the coast of Norway. Unfortunately, a recent study predicts wave heights in the North Pacific are going to increase with climate change
The storms from this year on ward will be scary
How did this wave not cause some or any damage? 🤔
Only people who grow up next to the ocean or who have lived next to it for many years can fully appreciate its power and strength, your parents probably told you as a kid that monsters don't exist, well they lied to you, they do and they are out at sea.
Might be the biggest, since it was recorded. Waves of Hurricane Grace, Florence and Ivan, were enormous(ninety feet). Understand that those giant waves are not rouge waves, and break apart as they reach shallows. And certainly this is a ripple, compared to waves in the universe.
His wife later went on record to say “it was more like a 30ft wave, he really likes to exaggerate his measurements”
That, actually, isn't the most extreme rogue wave on record. This wave surpassed the surrounding waves by a factor of 2.93. Whilst impressive, there first of all were several other waves nearly as extreme: the Ramapo wave in 1933 had a factor difference of 2.83 and was also nearly twice as high as this wave. A wave recorded by an ESA satellite in the Atlantic ocean had a height of 29.8 meters and surpassed the surrounding waves by a factor of 2.9. Now, onto waves more extreme than this Vancouver wave, there was a rogue wave incident in 2011 which saw a 15-meter wave surpass the surrounding waves by a factor of 3.24. An incident in the Atlantic ocean involving the submarine Grouper saw a thirty-meter wall of water arise in calm seas (leading to an enormous factor difference). So, whilst impressive, the Vancouver wave is not the most extreme rogue wave on record
Fascinating
This news station got their information about rogue waves from 20 year old scientific articles
what about the draupner wave? It was 26meters
There has been a ton of earth quakes over seas
Maybe massive rogue waves are more common than humans originally thought!!
This is certainly not the most extreme…cmon, fact check
