And while the Nazaré Canyon explains why massive crests form on this stretch of Portuguese coast, humongous waves can also occur seemingly from nowhere. Rogue waves, also known as freak or killer waves, are waves that are at least twice as high as the surrounding sea state.

Instead, researchers think rogue waves are born from smaller waves merging into larger ones, either due to high surface winds or changes in ocean currents caused by storms.
