Short summary
Rogue wave risk is assessed using buoy observations and compared with reanalysis and numerical wave models. Results show that models typically underestimate extremes due to spectral smoothing and spatial averaging. Rogue waves are frequently preceded by a rapid decrease in crest–trough correlation below 0.5, followed by a sharp increase above 0.6, indicating that temporal wave-field evolution, rather than static values, is critical for identification and possible prediction.
