Not quite as big Nealbur, but you are only off by 70 feet or so,
staying within your typical margin of error.

At more than 90 feet (27 meters) tall from crest to trough and 600
feet (183 meters) long,

The largest wave ever measured formed in the Gulf of Mexico during
Ivan.

"The researchers estimated the wave heights using water pressure data
from undersea sensors that had been placed in the Gulf of Mexico for a
separate project."
