While I am battling in the seas of Assassin's Creed 4, occassionally a rogue wave will pound my ship! I take massive damamge and end up losing a few crew members.
Can I avoid the massive wave or what should I do when a massive wave is coming?
Are there any tells in the game that I can know if a massive wave is coming?
Is there anyway to get my crew back once they are lost to rogue wave?

On the minimap a rogue wave icon does appear and shows which direction it is traveling. And to avoid losing crew members you hold the 'X' button(on Xbox), Space on PC, Y(on Wii U), or Square(on PS3) but that will brace the crew and you won't take as much damage.
Also, You can get more crew by going to a tavern, helping pirates in the locations, or picking up castaways in the open sea.
As some have stated in the comments, another way to avoid damage from the rogue waves is to face them head on. But in my experience it is just easier and quicker to brace and then get back to the battle.
