Last pics I would say "dead flat". But the sunset is beautiful.

Am I in 2 ft waves? 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. http://photos.powerboatphotos.com/p2...69151#hf3ea188 http://photos.powerboatphotos.com/p2...9151#h111d7d45 http://photos.powerboatphotos.com/p2...9151#h12049c9b |

Am I in 2 ft waves? 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.

In the 1st pic, 2s.
In the 2nd pic... flat. Either is not rough, even for a 13ft whaler. |

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. |
So this is the answer ??
Wave Height - The vertical distance between crest and trough. |

Im gonna say 2's. It was a blast either way.
thanks |
