Dec 1994 I'm standing 50 feet from the front of the Charletown breachway with my fishing partner at that time. The waves were big but not huge. All of a sudden the rogue wave appears and crashes over us and we are a good 50 feet in from the end rock. IT FLATTENED US!! We were shocked and got out of there very quickly. You just never know.
I have been in Nathan Cove's on the big rock and had a wave come over the top of the rock and me. That a 25 to 30' wave and those of you who know Nathans know the rock I speak of.

No boat, back in the suds.

The sad fact is that because people are inherently stupid they ruin it for the rest of us. $100 says the family sues the park service for allowing them to put themselves in harms way and be idiots.
