Why the Waves Are Big in Southern Latitudes
The explanation notes that south of Cape Good Hope and Cape Horn there is no windward or leeward shore and winds are predominantly westerly. A west wind meets a long westerly swell from prior winds, increasing steepness and creating huge waves called storm wives that can reach 1,200 feet crest to crest. The average wave height in feet roughly equals half the wind speed in miles per hour.
