Scientists have recorded the largest rogue wave ever measured in the Pacific Ocean, reaching a height of 17.6 meters (58 feet) off the coast of British Columbia in November 2020. Known as the Ucluelet wave, its extraordinary height highlights the importance of advanced ocean monitoring systems. This wave, which was nearly three times the size of surrounding waves, exemplifies the rare and powerful nature of rogue waves, which pose significant risks to maritime operations and coastal communities.
