Would have to be open waters, otherwise the wave mechanics would make for
bigger surfing waves than Mavericks. I think the problem is they are not
the nasty waves as the pics show, but huge swells with long periods that can
break a ship because of the lack of center support. Figure the super
tankers are 1/2-3/4 mile long now. Wave with a 1 mile period would not
break into white water, but would break a ship.

Interesting. I would have to wonder where in the Bering Sea (near land
or open waters), but the satellite radar, will probably end up being the
best source for actual numbers, from what I've heard about it.

to figure out how to measure and keep ships out of their path.
