A ‘FREAK’ wave has been named ‘the single biggest wave ever recorded in Spanish waters’.
According to new data, the giant wave – measuring 27.8m (91.1 feet) from crest to trough – was recorded off the coast of Galicia’s Cape Vilan early this year.
The previous record-holder was a 26.1m monster wave near the city of Santander during 2009’s Cyclone Klaus.

Interesting. How are waves measured with such accuracy? They don’t hang around very long.
