russkiejedi Intervention Needed

I wasn’t talking about “anywhere.” I was talking about the spot in the video you

linked. I assumed (correctly, it turns out!) that at that spot, the ocean wasn’t behaving unpredictably, but following a long-observed pattern.

It's naive to think that there are signs wherever there's a possibility of a rogue wave.

And what did my OP say? Did it limit the unpredictable nature of the ocean to that one spot? It's not hard to understand
