Yup. As someone who’s worked a lot on ships all over the world, I can tell you that waves can be deceiving. It can look like everything is normal, but suddenly the ships roll and pitch will perfectly time a slightly larger swell which then gets to wash in over deck.
It is worth noting that the ships themselves have no problem handling this. They’re designed so that any water that washes over the deck gets drained out and doesn’t go into the interior. Whoever is on those decks is another story though. Just because your feet are dry, don’t assume they will remain so.

How did the wave come from the back?
boat hits a swell in front/side, stutters, fast moving swell is momentarily moving faster than the boat in the right direction.
that wave was probably hitting the side of the boat right as it was dipping down, so it climbed up the side of the boat and on to the deck
“Yeah, I’m okay. But the front fell off.”
Typical.
Tow it out of the environment.
…into another environment?
Rogue wave?
At sea? A chance in a million!
The ocean is notoriously anti-paparazzi
idk, waves? waves aren’t unexpected on the ocean.
that’s a good swell, but it didn’t really WTF break my brain, did this break other brains?
here, this is more wtf: a serial urinator violating the candle section at dollar tree.
You should read about rouge waves…
Sounds pretty
i know all about rogue waves, thanks.
people are unfamiliar with waves. I wouldn’t have guessed that, but I guess more and more people live in cities these days.
this is good knowledge to have in my back pocket.
What a dumb thing to say. Even if you live near the water, not that many people would spend much time on the open ocean for more than a few hours. Not to mention that the majority of ports and access to ocean faring boats are going to be in or near cities anyway.
You sound like someone who knows very little, yet gatekeeping like you’re some worldly person.
“What a dumb thing to say” - ieatpillowtags
goes on to exactly agree with the “dumb” conclusion that not many people know about waves because they live in cities and don’t spend much time on the water.
slick.
also, “gatekeeping” in what world?
that’s completely inapplicable here.
Actually if you read what I wrote, you have more likely access to ocean vessels if you live in a city. That is the opposite of what you said.
If you want to believe that agreeing with what I said is some kind of argument, go for it.
Aww see, now here I thought I was helping to educate a poor ignorant person, and it turns out you were a troll all along. Very sad!
What’re you going to do with that knowledge? 😂
there are lots of topics that people choose to take offense at for any number of reasons, I try to sympathize when possible.
Saying that waves being on the ocean is not exactly “WTF” is apparently on that list.
TIL.
