They’re called sneaker waves because they occur with zero warning. In the midst of gentle waves, a sneaker suddenly surges dozens of feet higher than expected and travel much further than the ordinary waves. These powerful waves can easily sweep an adult out to sea in a matter of seconds. There are no rules, it can strike anytime after a long period of small waves.
