While 100 year waves – at up to 14 metres in height – may not be what many seafarers wish to encounter, their now greater frequency could be just the news some surfers are waiting to hear.
Now measurements from a deep-water buoy moored off the Oregon coast since the mid-1970s indicate that the “100-year” [...]

Rogue waves can theoretically be as high as 198 feet or as tiny as a [...]

The Earth hums to itself and it looks as if the source of the “buzz” has finally been identified.
After discovering the mysterious low-frequency buzz in 1998, scientists figured out that the Earth’s hum is caused not by earthquakes or atmospheric turbulence, but by ocean waves colliding with the seafloor. Now, researchers have pinpointed the source [...]

Interesting article that looks at wave power, a renewable source of energy that has been largely overlooked so far, in favour of other alternative power sources, such as solar and wind energy.
You only have to look at waves pounding a beach, inexorably wearing cliffs into rubble and pounding stones into sand, to appreciate the power [...]
