As for how tall a wave is capable of growing, NOAA notes that while 65-foot-plus (19.8 m) "rogue" waves can occur in extreme storm conditions, such wave heights are extremely rare.

Wave power is a measurement of the relationship between wind energy (basically, how the wind is blowing and how warm it is) and the upper ocean. Waves occur largely because of this relationship.

We used three-dimensional imaging of ocean waves to capture freakish seas that produce a notorious phenomenon known as rogue waves. Our results are now published in Physical Review Letters ...

Ocean waves represent an abundant source of renewable energy. But to best use this natural resource, wave-energy converters need to be capable of physically handling ocean waves of different ...
