wave height vs water depth for dummies.

a 36 foot wave breaks about when water depth becomes less than 60 feet.

aruge if only if you have an IQ not approaching upper two digits.

Wonderful. But you said that it's impossible to get 36' waves hundreds
of miles from the coast. The water at station 42040, only 64 nm from
the coast is 237.7 meters deep. So are you *finally* able to admit you
were wrong when you said:

they _may_ forecast 36 foot waves in the Fla panhandle, but the water is
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaay to shallow to support 36 foots for hundreds of miles away from the Fla
panhandle.

This should be interesting.:))

It looks like that buoy was getting rocked around so much it couldn't
record the wave heights at the peak of the storm. The highest it did
record was 52.5 feet.

Maybe Jax has given up on wave mechanics, and gone back to navigation class.



I hear GQ hired him as a bathing suit model.

Or anchoring school.

I read this mornings paper where they are forecasting 16' tidal surge. I
feel for those people.

schlackoff, do you have **any** idea what a panhandle is?

obviously not.

16 foot tidal surge is believable. 36 foot waves crashing onto the Florida
Panhandle is not.

Yes. It's what you should hit yourself over the head with for being
wrong ALL the time.

It's also where YOU said 36 foot waves are impossible hundreds of miles
from. It's also exactly where 36 foot, 42 foot, and even 52 foot waves
were measured only 64nm from.

Any other questions dummy?

sorry, I believe -- without checking -- all the stories from boat sellers and
boat brokers that a 9 foot draft boat couldn't be sailed within
miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles of a Gulf shore.
