The observation of a wave group persisting for more than 200 periods in the direct numerical simulation of nonlinear unidirectional irregular water waves in deep water is discussed. The simulation conditions are characterized by parameters realistic for broad-banded waves in the sea. Through solution of the associated scattering problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the group is identified as the intense envelope soliton with remarkably stable parameters. Most of the extreme waves occur on top of this group, resulting in higher and longer rogue wave events.
