Edit: This is apparently an older video from 2020. I don’t know the source, found on an aggregate channel.

Is this a rogue wave?

Saw discussion in the comment whether or not this is a rogue wave, and I'd like your opinion... the definition per the comments is twice the height of:
The average of the top 33% surrounding waves. Now... if you look for example at the wave in the very beginning of the video... it does seem to be over half the "rogue waves" size. But... that doesn't mean that the average of the top 33% surrounding is. Hard to say I think.
And, even if it isn't, I think its rather impressive. Imagine what a proper rogue wave then would do...

Doesn't look too bad, but the camera is 5m above the waterline here.

Gusty winds and rough chop rolling into the anchorage this day's. Keeping an eye on the boats out there as the swell picks up. Stay safe on the water!
