Non-equilibrium evolution of wave fields due to shoaling can amplify rogue wave statistics. This process is studied by the analysis of spatial variations in the energy density and time averages, affecting the Khintchine theorem. The resulting probability model reproduces the heavy tail of the probability distribution of unidirectional wave tank experiments, describes why the peak of rogue wave probability appears atop the shoal, and explains the influence of depth on variations in peak intensity.
