21 and 42 footers

A number of other photos were posted and all had the same results. They claim was also made that true 3-4 footers would require enough wind to create that they WOULD have significant white caps.
Here are a couple of the photos I posted and was told they were 1-2's: linked from Randy Nuzzo's site.

Wave Anatomy:
* Still-Water Line - The level of the sea surface if it were perfectly calm and flat.
* Crest - The highest point on the wave above the still-water line.
* Trough - The lowest point on the wave below the still-water line.
* Wave Height - The vertical distance between crest and trough.
* Wavelength - The horizontal distance between successive crests or troughs.
* Wave Period - The time it takes for one complete wave to pass a particular point.
* Wave Frequency - The number of waves that pass a particular point in a given time period.
* Amplitude - One-half the wave height or the distance from either the crest or the trough to the still-water line.
* Depth - the distance from the ocean bottom to the still-water line.
* Direction of Propagation - the direction in which a wave is travelling.
that's where the interpretation takes a turn, for all general purposes this shows total wave height. from trough to top

according the everyone on THT that is correct......and remember, I was in a Top Gun running beside a Tiger and at 70 we were getting 1-2 boat lengths of undisturbed water under the boat.

Theoretically yes, but not reality...see chart below
Wave Anatomy:
* Still-Water Line - The level of the sea surface if it were perfectly calm and flat.
* Crest - The highest point on the wave above the still-water line.
* Trough - The lowest point on the wave below the still-water line.
* Wave Height - The vertical distance between crest and trough.
* Wavelength - The horizontal distance between successive crests or troughs.
* Wave Period - The time it takes for one complete wave to pass a particular point.
* Wave Frequency - The number of waves that pass a particular point in a given time period.
* Amplitude - One-half the wave height or the distance from either the crest or the trough to the still-water line.
* Depth - the distance from the ocean bottom to the still-water line.
* Direction of Propagation - the direction in which a wave is travelling.
