It's a little pigheaded to call it a "once-in-a-millennium wave".

The system has been in operation for X years, and has captured one rogue wave. I'm doubtful we wait another 1000 years for the next one. Lol. Maybe another 5, 10, 20 years?

I'm not sure how scientists get away with saying this trash. Many people will take it at face value.

What it really says is science is still blind and dumb.

> The record-setting Ucluelet wave was recorded by one of MarineLabs' sensor buoys deployed at Amphitrite Bank, approximately seven kilometers offshore of Ucluelet. The buoy is part of a network of marine sensors that comprise MarineLabs' CoastAware™ platform

The "article" was interesting but partway through I realized it's actually a company's press release, so I wouldn't put much stock in what they say
