estimates had suggested that the probability of finding a way higher than 10 meters in a heavy storm would only be 0.03 percent. the measurements show that giant waves occur much more frequently the actual chance of waves forming that are at least 10 meters high is closer to one percent. and that's the classical approach adheres to the theory that every wave has a certain energy that the energy of one wave can sometimes overlay that of another to form a particularly high wave and that the component waves each with their own energy can thereafter continue on their way for. newer approaches theorize that energy can also be transferred from one wave to another and that this 2nd wave moves on with
