The Wave: In Pursuit of the Oceans Greatest Furies, by Susan Casey

 If you are interested in surfing, weather, oceanography or photography, this is the book is for you.  The author follows scientists and surfers all over the globe in search of the elusive 100 foot giant. The surfers study weather patterns around the world, then with their photographers, hop planes to catch giant storm waves.  Scientists in research vessels measure freak 40, 50, 100 foot swells in the North Atlantic and try to predict where and why they occur. Perfect blend of science and sport.
