Rogue Waves

Rogue waves are very dangerous waves that are twice the size of the surrounding waves. They are unexpected and typically come from directions that go against prevailing wind and waves. Rogue waves are also known as 'freak', or 'killer' waves. These types of waves can do major damage to any ships that get in their way.  Below are some images of rogue waves.
