Abstract: We investigate the statistics of rogue waves occurring in the inverse cascade of surface gravity wave turbulence. In such statistically homogeneous, stationary and isotropic wave fields, low-frequency waves are generated by nonlinear interactions rather than directly forced by a wave maker. This provides a laboratory realization of arguably the simplest nonlinear sea state, in which long-time acquisitions are performed and compared with theoretical models. The analysis of thousands of rogue waves reveals that some of their properties crucially depend on four-wave resonant interactions, large crests being for instance more likely than predicted by second-order models.
