Madam, Bribie Is problems were the result of king tides on top of the severe Low; somewhat different. Those combinations will always cause extreme results, imo. There is no such thing as a freak wave. But "freak waves" do occur but they are a natural result of a combination of waves, sometimes many, that overlap.
