I spent countless hours in and on the Pacific Ocean off Southern California and Baja in my youth, body surfing, diving, fishing, boating, and just goofing off. There were many times when enormous waves came out of nowhere. The ocean is not as predictable as we would would like it to be.

Sounds like rogue wave prediction is going to be somewhat like tornado prediction.

Perhaps someday we'll even see "wave chasers" like there are "storm chasers" in the US midwest.
