Ah, that explains it, but that sure is a screwy way of measuring waves. As for
East Coasters doubling the wave height...it's BS.

Hi Folks,

Actually, mathematically, that makes more sense than measuring
trough-to-crest. If one considers waves modeled by a sine wave, the mean
height measurement would be called the amplitude.
