I bet we get some cool new rogue wave footage from the constant traffic now. That bit between Madagascar and the Cape, where the warm Indian ocean current slams into the cold South Atlantic current, is infamous for wrecks due to rogue waves.
Sometimes the wave mechanics get really funky and form a rogue trough, which is literally an 80 - 120+ foot deep trench zipping through the ocean.

Do you have any interesting footage of this?
Not yet sadly, they've been documented but no one's been able to film one yet, or if they did, they didn't survive.
There's some good illustrations at the bottom of this page though. https://ecmiindmath.org/2017/01/04/ocean-rogue-waves-a-mystery-unveiled/
Oh wow. That IS interesting. Must be incredibly rare though given the prevalence of cameras and the quantity of boats we've got out there.

LOL damn, I thought the Drake passage was wild
