wave height vs water depth for dummies.
http://www.sailnet.com/collections/a...eid=carrmi0029
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. |

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. Steve |

I hear GQ hired him as a bathing suit model. -- Not dead, in jail, or a slave? Thank a liberal! And don't forget to pay your taxes so the rich don't have to! |

I read this mornings paper where they are forecasting 16' tidal surge. I
feel for those people. Bill "Steven Shelikoff" wrote in message ...

feel for those people. 16 foot tidal surge is believable. 36 foot waves crashing onto the Florida Panhandle is not. |

schlackoff, do you have **any** idea what a panhandle is?
obviously not.
