The most extreme rogue wave occurred in November 2020, lifting a single buoy off of Canada's British Columbia coast some 58 feet high. Since then, dozens more rogue waves have been recorded (some even in lakes). @ScienceAlert has more on this aquatic phenomenon that was once considered a myth. And if buoys could talk, the one that went for a wild ride would tell you how very real rogue waves are: https://flip.it/AILAJv

Santa Monica Pier
This image was taken from the beach of Santa Monica. I'm guessing the rubber around the pilons is there to protect surfers as they slalom between them.
There are two things that I do really like though about Southern California and that is the weather and the beaches.
I love the beach for one and playing in the waves is fun.
