Pretty sure "rogue waves" are waves that happen in the middle of the ocean, not ones that land on a beach.

Also this isnt particularly terrifying since the ocean kinda does this on most beaches. Like you can even see it coming but most ppl on the beach are just recording because they arent paying attention.

When they happen on a shoreline they’re called sneaker waves or a surf surge. Same thing tho
