Waves and Wind Effects on Sea Heights
H A Marmer of the Coast and Geodetic Survey notes winds at 60 mph yield near zero height waves in open sea and 80 mph winds give waves just under 40 feet. He finds waves over 40 feet occur only in severe storms with 50 feet as an extreme wind driven height. When two large waves intersect peaks may exceed crest height and breaking waves can spray water high above the crest.
