Spectators hurt by rogue waves at surfing contest
By PAUL ELIAS • Associated Press • February 13, 2010
Two huge waves swept away spectators watching a Northern California surfing contest Saturday morning, causing broken bones and other injuries to people standing on a seawall.
"It just came out of nowhere and wiped us all out," said Pamela Massette
"This is probably the tallest waves I've seen. They're not the thickest, but they are the tallest," Bart Miller of Half Moon Bay said after coming out of the surf.
Everyone's concentration was on the contest when a 5-foot to 6-foot (1.5-meter to 1.8-meter) wave "wiped out the entire seawall,"

You seem to have no sense of context with the single rogue wave thing.
... you may be harbouring some personal feelings towards this poster which is influencing your responses.
It's almost funny to see you in here answering the OPs questions. It wasnt long ago that science said things like rogue waves and white squalls (great movie) didnt exist.

It's cool though if you want to forget you put "wavelength (steeper)" and concentrate on me not getting some supposed context that is mostly irrelevant to your mistake.

If you really want context, you just explained to all the retards that short wavelengths are always steep and long wavelengths are always not. Neither of those are true, but its what you said 'in context' with the rest of what you said.
