Default Biggest LOTO waves???

Whats the truth? I've heard WP has recorded 12ft swells coming out of PartyCove on holiday weekends. Any truth to that?

I punched one almost in front of toad two big Sea Rays went by on the same on each side on a rough weekend already. About a half a foot of water came over the windshield soaked us all that was the worst one. Don't want to do that with any speed I know.

I also heard Baja had the most warranty claims on the hull on LOTO than any other water too. Don't know if that one true too.

I have seen maybe up to 8 foot wakes caused by some of the really big cruisers. It was rumored that Prewitt's 65' Sea Ray could throw a 12-13 foot wake. All LOTO wakes are estimates though. I still say the biggest water I have ever been in is after a fireworks show.

waves after the fireworks and after the shootout when it was at Shooters were by far the biggest waves, I would say that 6 footers would be the biggest on those occassions, normal on a weekend is 3-4's multi direction waves

That's the scariest water I've seen.

We've spent more than a few late afternoons on the skis outside of party cove waiting for the BIG cruisers to leave. Great air, but you better d*mn well know what you're doing. Drunk people love watching jet skis fly.

Nova, you're Jamie Forbes' friend, aren't you? I think I met you near Dallas at another friend's house. I was on my way to a motorcycle race in Louisiana. You guys had a Supercross party weekend.

Garys Sea Ray is a 61' and nothing compared to the 65' Marquis called Our Country Club. I heard it flipped a dock over once.


The biggest water ever here was 2004 Shootout when the thunder storm came in fast right after the show was over. I had my 43' Flat deck it was fun.

Never seen a 12'
