Mike,
I pondered this question for quite a while and I have no clue as to how to
predict these freak waves other than they're probably more likely during
rough seas. I'm putting it on tweeters because I'm curious to see if other
people have ideas and or knowledge that could help the rest of us. So
anybody on tweeters that might know how to predict these freakish waves or
places to get the info, maybe we can get a discussion going?
