The waves are measured relative to "significant wave height," determined by averaging the highest one-third of waves. If the significant wave height is 6 feet, a rogue wave would have to be 13.2 feet.

Over the following decade, oceanographers came to define a rogue wave as being at least twice the height of a formation’s “significant wave height,” or the mean of the largest one-third of a ...
