Is it true that every seventh wave bigger?
So the first wave in a group is tiny, the next one is bigger and so on until you get the biggest one in the middle of the group. Then they get smaller again. The last one is tiny, so the biggest wave in the group is in the middle, and if there are 14 waves in a group, the seventh wave is the biggest.
How many waves until you get a big wave?
A wave set is a group of three to ten large waves that seemingly appears out of nowhere and disappears just as quickly.
Is every 13th wave bigger?
It is not true that every 13th wave is larger than the others, as claimed in the film. In fact, there exists no pattern in wave sizes. In the original Kon-Tiki (1950) documentary, it was shown that the crew simply waited for a wave big enough to carry them over the reef.
How do you survive a sneaker wave?
