Sneaker
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Sneaker is described as the huge wave and it comes rare but it comes without warning. Sneakers waves are very large as compared to the normal waves and these can catch anything coming in their way. Sneaker is also taken as a universal coastal phenomenon. Sneaker wave may come in different coasts. Sneaker wave is a distinct wave and there is no scientific coverage or evidence of this phenomenon. It can be predicted about certain number of the waves and it is assumed that one wave will be much higher than the rest and it is referred to as sneaker.
Many people believe that every 7th wave is assumed to be the neither sneaker one but there is nor scientific evidence about these. Plenty of the people think about the origin of the sneaker but they are unable to find this. Sneaker is a type pf shoes with a high heel. Sneakers are normally used as a dress shoes.
Sneaker boots are a type of shoe that mimics the visual appearance of a traditional sneaker, but is equipped with a high heel. The heel makes it impossible to use them as anything but dress shoes.

Sneaker wave is a popular term used to describe disproportionately large coastal waves that can often appear in a wave train without warning.
Because they are much larger than preceding waves, sneaker waves can catch unwary swimmers, washing them out to sea. The term sneaker wave probably refers to a universal coastal phenomenon, but is mainly used in warnings and reports of incidents for the coasts of Northern California, Oregon and Washington in the United States.
There is no scientific evidence or coverage of the phenomenon sneaker wave — as being a distinct sort of wave with respect to height or predictability — like there is on other extreme wave events as for instance rogue waves.

[edit] Seventh wave
In many parts of the world local lore predicts that out of a certain number of waves, one will be much larger than the rest — “every seventh wave” is one common belief that has wide circulation and has entered popular culture through music and literature.[1] These ideas have some scientific basis,[2] along with a cultural-inflicted fascination with the number 7. This saying may also serve to educate shore dwellers about the necessity of remaining vigilant when near the sea.
However, there is no scientific evidence that these wave groups are related to sneaker waves.
