	Sneaker wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sneaker wave is a term used to describe disproportionately large coastal waves that can often appear in a wave train without warning.
		Sneaker waves form when the energy of a number of smaller waves becomes focused.
		Sneaker waves are a universal coastal phenomenon, although they are known to be more common in some areas than others; in the United States, Northern California, Oregon and Washington are particularly affected.

	Freak wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Such waves were said to consist of an almost vertical wall of water preceded by a trough so deep that it was referred to as a "hole in the sea"; a ship encountering a wave of such magnitude would be unlikely to survive the tremendous pressures of up to 100 tonnes/m
		The phenomenon of freak waves is still a matter of active research, so it is too early to say clearly what the most common causes are or whether they vary from place to place.
		This is modelled by the non-linear Schrödinger wave equation of Quantum Physics in which a normal and perfectly accountable (by the standard linear model) wave begins to 'soak' energy from the waves immediately fore and aft, reducing them to mere dimples aside other waves.
