Terrifyingly Imagine this from the helm....looks like the one was only abut 20% larger than the the others in the set.. I think a sailboat would handle these better than most ships...but hope I never find out from either
@@norml.hugh-mann Yes, amazing. I think that a sailboat or any smaller vessel could survive this only if it were very light and very strong. ( like a corked bottle.). Due to the extreme steepness and breaking quality of the waves, most would not. I know of 2 boats that were in storms that could have had wave similar to this was a West sail 32 in the book and movie “the perfect storm”, and I know an Olson 30 ultra light racing boat went right through a full hurricane while riding to a parachute sea anchor. The West sail is massively strong and had that roundish shape that may have enabled to not resist too much. And being a double ended, we know that there is strength in curves, like a bottle. Similar with the Olson 30 but very light and strong for it’s mass. A bit like and eggshell in a storm. The key is that if you are light and strong enough to stay ON TOP of the breaking crest instead of being crushed under it, you have a better chance. If the rode were long enough the sea anchor might have helped too. Keeping it more pointy end forward. But the rode would have to span a couple of wave lengths up wing to not get tumbled with the boat ( and this is if the sea anchor helped at all in this chaos. Wouldn’t want to be there to find out!
fairly normal in a North sea storm. Look at the footage of the 30m wave taken from the Caledonian Vigilance in a force 11. And also bigwavemaster1 footage taken in storms, as I said routine stuff.
You should read Shackleton's story then the book is called 'Endurance'. They went through this through the Drake Passage in a little boat on a rescue mission to get to a whaling station, 800 km or so journey in winter freezing waters about 11 days or so. Their survival story is extraordinary. There is a point in their journey where Shackleton looks across the bow and sees what he thinks are clouds on a clear sky, but as it approaches he realises there is a little flicker of light and foam on what he thinks is a cloud.. where in fact it was the crest of a freak wave, so massive, he thought it was a cloud.
This is a real rogue wave, not the first, but the second - as you all have seen. Note the break it makes, which is the reason why ships may sink in an instant, when meeting such giants.
@@Person-by6vd We were on a WW2 LST (Landing Ship, Tank), about 325 feet long. We would go up the side of a wave, teeter on the crest, slam down and slide down the side of the wave into the trough just to repeat it over and over again. The main deck developed multiple cracks that allowed seawater to come through into the berthing compartment next to mine and when we arrived in Sasebo, they discovered plates broken loose on the bottom and fish swimming in a ballast tank. I was just a teen, I would pass on a chance to do it again...
Ocean Ranger was a human error. Staff didn't shut the steel cover of the portlight, so the wave damaged the glass and salt water ingressed into the ballast control room. In general oil rigs are extremely safe and stable even under such conditions.
This is absolutely extraordinary. I would very much like to know any other information about this. For example: did it cause damage to the rig? where was the camera taking the footage? were there any details about the height of the wave? did scientists/engineers specializing in waves and huge waves study this footage or make comments on it. Again, totally fascinating. Thank you so much for posting this.
I have had nightmares that were pretty close to this. With the exception of the Japanese Tsunami creeping up under that highway overpass, This is some of the scariest footage I have seen, I might be able to out maneuver it on my jet ski though...
I was in a 65ft yacht in a race. We lost our anometer at 85 knots on the meter. A lot of hard work very wet work for me and 16 crew. To tired and wet to remember if it was exciting. Its was big seas and i worried we would pitch pole into the trough betweem the waves as i had the wheel and looked straight down the side of the waves we were headed into. The bow dug in and lifted up and wind got into the sails and away we meant to the next wave. As we got out to sea the waves seemed to be further apart and not breaking so much. A rough trip.
Surprised this doesn't have more views. One of the only videos of an actual rogue wave. That thing is mammoth, and actually broke. Any ship running into that thing was fucked
I don't think there are other videos showing an actual actual rogue wave. There's one taken from a ship's interior when the windows are smashed, and there are several pictures, but no videos that show it like this one does
I saw a couple of other videos which I think have rogue waves. watch?v=uK_4V3zqAvg called "rogue wave in the bay of biscay" Im pretty sure qualifies but the surrounding sea state is not huge so the wave itself is not as impressive as some others. and watch?v=_akyfMp9ln8 "freak wave hits ship" is in a much bigger sea so Im actually less confident it would justify the definition but its a very big and scary wave nonetheless
The one taken in Biscay is one of the best examples of rogue waves I've ever seen, it's perfect. You can see 2 meters high wave and then that wave which is like 8 meters high and breaking on top hitting broadside the tanker.
Many moons ago when I was in the service onboard an aircraft carrier we went thru some swells off the coast of Australia that were so huge they broke over the bow of the ship which is 90 feet above the waters surface, had to cancel flight ops due to a high pitching deck.
Wow. What a great view! Is it possible for me to use and share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Cheers.
I agree that clips like this are extraordinary, however, if only some way to give a dimensional perspective of the wave, as the video takes place. Without a frame of reference, one knows that it is a huge wave, but just how big, is anyone's guess!! Just my thoughts, and I can't get enough of dramatic videos of ocean and waves!!
The foreshortening effect of the telephoto lens really distorts the image of the wave. Best and most accurate reproduction is looking more parallel to the waves with no telephoto lens. Imho.
I show this video to people who ask me why I joined the Army instead of the Navy or Marines. i grew up on the coast of Mass, so I knew enough not to work on the ocean.
I am forever grateful for the people who get paid to deal with this crap because there’s no amount of money in the world that would persuade me to do it.

I have spent decades at sea. On ships and on my own sailboat. Never have I seen anything like this. This is not a wave, it is pure nightmare!
Terrifyingly

@@paulmahy I didn't find these videos
Sitting in the comfort of a warm, dry home whilst watching this, and I felt the naked terror.
Imagine being abandoned on a little life raft in this. Just thinking about that scenario frightens the life out of me
It's just water
as long as it wont sink and i know that i dont give a fuk. would be cold and sore thats for sure

It's amazing how watching this even on a small screen makes you feel tiny and vulnerable.
You guys should look into having a permanent cam put on the rig so folks can watch it live 24/7. Its the latest thing for technology.
I’m not sure if they get good internet
But with starlink I’m positive they can do that
I wonder if people find my old comments as funny as this thread.
Old vids man
Hello
@@thelukesternater make not with ur name like everyone hates jake and logan paul or at least i do😂😂😂😂 but you seem alright
My God that's enough to keep me on dry land dodging tornadoes in the US midwest

My beautiful grandfather served with the merchant navy WW11 he told me about the heavy seas in the North Atlantic amazing footage
When the camera pans to the right at 0:42, you get perspective on just how MONSTROUS that thing is. 😲😲😲
that is one of the scariest things I have ever seen. makes you wonder how all those sailors of old survived!
Those 'couple' of waves looked unlike anything else in the area!!
Insane man!! The kinda wave that sunk the Andrea Gail..!!
Wow that’s a lot of water. This video lives up to its name.
I love it when the UA-cam algo brings me back to the big wave part of the site
I have seen lots of footage of roque waves and huge swells in storms, but this has been the largest I've seen and those few have got to be 90+ feet
Beautiful!
Brown pants time tho... 😱😱
Hats off as always to cameraman who recorded all freak waves in YT
The stuff of nightmares. Great footage!
Cracking video this, highlights how quickly they dissipate as well! Would be extremely scary to witness first hand
Wow, so many "freak wave" videos out there, but this one looks like it might be one for real!
Yeah, that is terrifying. Can you imagine being out there in a small sail boat?
Can you imagine being out there in a large boat?
Can you imagine being out there without a boat?
Can you imagine being out there drowning in pitch black depth
What about paddling around on a boogie board haha😂
I mean if anyone finds themselves over there with a small sail boat then they're surely doing something wrong.
That was impressive stuff, I've been in some 15-18 meter seas back in the 60's, but these were 20+ I'd wager.
That’s so cool! What was it like being there with those massive waves?
@@Person-by6vd We were on a WW2 LST (Landing Ship, Tank), about 325 feet long.

i couldn't imagine working on an oil rig in those conditions, so much could go wrong, i just remember hearing about what happened to the Ocean Ranger.
Ocean Ranger was a human error. Staff didn't shut the steel cover of the portlight, so the wave damaged the glass and salt water ingressed into the ballast control room.
In general oil rigs are extremely safe and stable even under such conditions.
Glad I chalked up before watching this one.
Incredible display of nature's power
I had heart palpitations just watching this!
I guess that the 80 people that disliked the video expected the oil rig to capsize or something, sheesh.
Why do I expect to see Patrick Swayze's character in "Point Break" paddling out to try and ride those waves?
This is absolutely extraordinary. I would very much like to know any other information about this.

Nate Murphy.....Really can't believe that you did not get numerous responses to your great comments/questions!
Its amazing isn't it?
Looks like it's nazari Portugal
You should watch video of guys surfing monsters similar to this
@@markswitzer2198 , it's Nazaré. No rigs in Nazaré though.
terrifyingly beautiful imposing force of nature
Incredible footage! 🌊
Forgive my ignorance. But do aquatic life in the open water naturally diver deep to miss these insane currents? I have questions lol.
Same questions
I always heard there is a killer wave for ever boat that floats. These waves look like it can take out most of them.
Thank God for land, and by that I don't mean any particular piece of land just land in general.
The ocean is very scary to me, so dark @ night, so vast and unforgiving.
Best reason yet to be a landlubber.
the atmosphere is comfortable and so beautiful, very suitable to relieve stress....😍😍😍Please come back my brother 😘😘😘😘 Thanks very much.
I loved hanging over the rail watching the anchor boats in the high seas.........respect.
Hamster ball. No life jacket.
Crazy Wave, looks like it morphed into one giant wave. crazy thanks for sharing.
if i saw this while im on the ocean i would die of a heart attack
Now I know how the Andrea Gail felt.
I have had nightmares that were pretty close to this.
With the exception of the Japanese Tsunami creeping up under that highway overpass,
This is some of the scariest footage I have seen,
I might be able to out maneuver it on my jet ski though...
Man the guy was so scared he was shivering.
I don't think my puny brain can even fathom what I was just looking at..
The sea can be a very forging place & then there are the enigmatic rogue waves!
I was in a 65ft yacht in a race. We lost our anometer at 85 knots on the meter. A lot of hard work very wet work for me and 16 crew. To tired and wet to remember if it was exciting.

What is "pitch pole"? Knockdown?
@@phapnui when you boat noses im to eave in front and goes over end for end
Yeah, I'd be shitting bricks. BRICKS.
Surprised this doesn't have more views. One of the only videos of an actual rogue wave. That thing is mammoth, and actually broke. Any ship running into that thing was fucked
if itdve been titled rogue wave or freak wave it would get more view cos thats what ppl search
xxx yyy....your comment makes great sense to me, so....it's settled!!
I'm now so terrified of water I can't even go in the bathtub after watching this .
well that cured my constipation because I just shit myself
Only by the Hand of God did Noah and family survive that Flood; with waves 7 times more wrathful than this.
This is the weather i get everytime i want to go fishing
Hmmmmmmm......and 'that' stopped you...?
Nazare wave!!!...🤙😎🤘...All day long after a storm!!!...
I am so glad you guys are ok.
when the wave starts breaking and you see all the foam, that is force, and it seems to combine with another wave, making it very powerful
I just have to go there to see this. Stunning.
This is incredible What a dangerous job y’all have. Couldn’t pay me enough to do this shit
My phobias: "Let us introduce ourselves"
That has to be getting on for 90-100 feet. It’s colossal. The other waves are tiny. Is that a rig? It was nearl the same height as the rig
Specs say this rig is only 130ft tall and has a draft of 77ft while operating which leaves only 53ft above the water.
I guess everyone in survival suits at this point?
That is monstrous!!! Those swells are like 15 meters... trough to peak thats scary stuff
Okay, that one would scare the fillings right out of my teeth
incredible view of a freak wave... only vidéo out there I think like it
+azertu2u2 nope!
+OhNegative wow great help

I'm shitting myself just watching it on the screen
Waves so big even the fish can drown.
Where and when was this? The most crazy waves I have ever seen! Plattform i Nordsjøen? Hvilken?
just looks like an alien planet we're not supposed to be on
Many moons ago when I was in the service onboard an aircraft carrier we went thru some swells off the coast of Australia that were so huge they broke over the bow of the ship which is 90 feet above the waters surface, had to cancel flight ops due to a high pitching deck.
Welcome home brother ! Semper fi .
The nature will always be way above us
That made me feel sick, I thought it was filmed on shore...
The ocean was angry that day my friends. Like an old man trying to return soup at a deli.
Imagine swimming in that, even for only 20 seconds. Absolutely crazy.

Damn I know the money 💰 is really good working on those rigs but you have to have some set of balls that is some scary stuff
Put it on "loop" before going to sleep to have interesting dreams.
That wave had its own , waterfalls !
Those aren't mountains, those are waves!..
That's awesome . A bit making me dizzy
Wow they certainly are monsters
Hi MetalHead355, is it possible to get in touch with you to discuss a permission to use this video in a production? Best regards
Wahnsinn... aber so schön anzusehen!
That look like at least 20ft waves... geesh, thats big and scary.
80 foot swells Mother Nature is a serious Lady!!
fall into that sea and you’re toast 💀
I agree that clips like this are extraordinary, however, if only some way to give a dimensional perspective of the wave, as the video takes place. Without a frame of reference, one knows that it is a huge wave, but just how big, is anyone's guess!! Just my thoughts, and I can't get enough of dramatic videos of ocean and waves!!
I had a sudden vision of a 16th century sailing ship on those seas. I would never leave land again.
A god-like power in the hands of nature.
That is terrifying.
The sea frightens me, this terrifies me.
That’s so frightening.
so calming
The foreshortening effect of the telephoto lens really distorts the image of the wave. Best and most accurate reproduction is looking more parallel to the waves with no telephoto lens. Imho.
Omg what a video 👌👌👌
O.M.G. That is huge.
Cool video, but also very nice camera shaking skills. Making my brain rattle properly.
123TauruZ321 yeah it's not like he's filming from a ship in a storm. C'mon, dude!
I thought it was an oil rig.
Who is that? Someone who is known to shake the camera a lot?
123TauruZ321....what a dick!!
Relax and have a joint, beer or whatever.
I show this video to people who ask me why I joined the Army instead of the Navy or Marines.
i grew up on the coast of Mass, so I knew enough not to work on the ocean.
I think I can safely say, If I was in a boat out there, in that... I would be absoutely shitting myself!
I am forever grateful for the people who get paid to deal with this crap because there’s no amount of money in the world that would persuade me to do it.
That flickering camera action is almost enough to give even someone as calm-minded as myself, epileptic seizures.
