Visit one of the coastal beaches in Washington during the months of October through June and you can have a first hand experience! I can feel and hear this picture.

For weird shaped waves like this you can also visit Lake Erie any time of year. Shallows and shore shape and wind combine and you get some absolutely wild waves.

I hope I can experience that.

So much energy in the ocean. That's probably an (probably multiple) Olympic sized swimming pool(s) elevated meters into the air, because gravity and wind says that's where it should be.

The feeling of falling into the cold inky blackness... I love it!

Beautiful shot

Absolutely would not hit that.

How far back were you from Gamera when this was taken? she still emits mighty rads even from a distance.

Does this have a name other than 'a wave'?

Looking at this makes me think of some pictures of the surface of the sun, teeming with all the roiling, explosive energy barely contained beneath the surface, and then this, a solar flare, erupts

And that's when you see the teeny tiny fishing boat about halfway up the wave...

I see a cougar in the top of the wave.

Well it’s probably dead by now
