How Do Some Waves Get SO Big?

The video explores the formation of gigantic waves, focusing on how wave energy extends deep below the surface and interacts with the sea floor. It explains how geological features like reefs and undersea canyons, such as the Nazare Canyon, funnel and compress wave energy, leading to massive wave breaks. The video highlights the unique conditions that create the world's largest waves, particularly off the coast of Portugal.
